(Mike Marais, literary theorist, 2005)
"When a young person of age fourteen walked into my studio with a ten-string guitar, of his own choosing, I was sure that here was something special. ... Since his first lesson with me there was never a dull moment. The lessons developed into mutual inspiration and Viktor developed at a rapid rate, technically and intellectually. From the start, he had no lack of understanding for the nature and spirit of the music at hand."
( Fritz Buss , 2007)
"Just wanted to say that your recital in Pretoria was amazing! It was a divine experience and it felt as if you transported my spirit to heaven through your music! You’ve developed much as a person, but also in your playing: last time I heard you it was Viktor in control of the music and now it was music in control of Viktor! Your interpretation of Romance [an encore] is the most beautiful version I have ever heard. Good luck with your studies; looking forward to the next time! Regards, T."
