Sounds Like: Top 10 Recordings of 2007
-Ken Waxman
CODA Magazine (Canada)
"A notable landmark, the CD not only suggested unexpected material available for jazz exploration, but proves that rethinking and remaking a score can create a musical invention that’s as profound as – or even an improvement on – the original."
-Ken Waxman
CODA Magazine (Canada)
"Montreal’s creative music scene is growing by leaps and bounds these days, and this release is elegant proof of the fact."
-Paul Serralheiro
The Squid's Ear (USA)
"Projet ambitieux, Quartetski does Prokofiev est cependant mené à bien par quatre des meilleurs jeunes musiciens de chez nous […]"
-Félix-A. Hamel
La Scena Musicale (Canada)
“Quartetski is made up of four seriously creative improvisers […] whose experimenting is as considerate as it is far-flung.â€
-Kate Molleson
The Montreal Gazette (Québec)
“Dietro alla sigla Quartetski Does Prokofiev in verità si cela un quartetto di jazzisti condotto dal contrabbassista/arrangiatore Pierre-Yves Martel che intende non solo offrire un tributo alla musica del grande compositore russo ma anche proporne una eccitante esplorazione.â€
-Vincenzo Giorgio
Wonderous Stories (Italy)
“Höchst abwechslungsreich und typisch pluralistisch springt die Musik von heiteren zu burlesken, von süßen zu fröhlichen, von wilden zu gramerfüllten Stimmungen.â€
-Rigobert Dittmann
Bad Alchemy (Germany)
"(...) l’univers de Prokofiev ne perd pas au change, bien au contraire; les passages improvisés ou les techniques de jeu modernes qu’emploient les musiciens n’interfèrent jamais avec le projet du compositeur, mais l’actualisent."
-Réjean Beaucage
Circuit (Québec)
