Sergei Nakariakov (Trumpet)
“Unbelievably stunning!” Pizzicato
“He proves himself to be the ‘Paganini of the trumpet’, nothing is too quick or delicate for him.”
Mannheimer Morgen
“Sergei Nakariakov is perhaps not a normal human being!”
Süddeutsche Zeitung
“Sergei Nakariakov must be a fish, who breathes with his gills!”
Münchner Merkur

Gábor Boldoczki (Trumpet)
“…no one can doubt Boldoczki’s accomplishment, successfully entering the idiom of these works and with such consistently good taste and judgement.”
Gramophone
“He is a wonderful trumpet soloist with an unprecedented suppleness and a uniquely fluid legato, soft as butter.”
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
“Stylish tone, lively flexibility, technically charming – ultimately Boldoczki performed jumps, scales, trills and melodic lines one after another with virtuose agility.”
