"eine echte Offenbarung, denn selten hat knapp 500 Jahre alte Musik so lebendig geklungen"

"Mut, manchmal Übermut, Experimentier- und Pioniergeist muss ein Musiker mit seinem Wissen um historische Aufführungspraxis paaren, um sich auf solche musikalischen Versuche einzulassen. Und der Zuhörer muss es auch. Er darf nicht an seinen ehernen und doch auf kein Beweismaterial gestützten Vorstellungen festhalten … dann kann er was erleben!"

"a bittersweet, haunting sound-a refreshing contrast to the crisp, often strident colors favored by many modern classical guitarists. Like Timofeyev's earlier album, The Golden Age of the Russian Guitar, Acrobatic Dance reveals a forgotten branch of our instrument's family tree, while offering sonic adventure."
