Press Reviews and Quotes
"...everything other than all too familiar classic jazz reeking of commercialism, instead a truly interesting, individual and new focus on the merging of these basically entirely different music styles. Top class!"
"A discovery - once again a guitar player, a real guitarero melting with his instrument, so that the listener does not know if he the guitar - or the guitar plays him. Very individual, very original and very visionary - full of atmospheric mood. A real guitarero, who has no other choice than playing."
"Perger 's success is by no means coincidental; he manages to balance on the narrow tightrope between jazz and classic. He relies on the one hand on set compositions, but also creates his own sound language using improvisation and his own compositions."
"Against that, in front of a lot more listeners, the highly reputed guitarist Andreas Paolo Perger turned out to be a stylistical black crosser with own works on his poppy-green acoustic-electric instrument, not fitting in any kind of current drawers."
For me, he explains his mammoth project, "it is an obligation to know and learn to understand the various styles living within the guitar, to work with them and pursue them up to a certain point and, when I feel I have learned enough about them, to let them go again. These CDs are a form of pool, a rucksack with everything I have at the moment and what I have focused on."
"The Munich-born musician, Andreas Paolo Perger, has become a trump card of European jazz."
"With his Concert for 5.1 surround guitar he creates a new space sound, whilst every guitar string gets depicted on a single loudspeaker."
Perger 's music is not only going to be performed in a room, but it generates a spacial structure itself, almost "folding" the given room. This by sound unfolded room therefore not only causes an acoustic experience, but also a physically perceptible shift of the position of the apprehending subject.
"The man, who invented the 5.1 surround guitar, gives a completely new space feeling."

Famous quotes containing the words press, reviews and/or quotes:
“What chiefly distinguishes the daily press of the United States from the press of all other countries is not its lack of truthfulness or even its lack of dignity and honor, for these deficiencies are common to the newspapers everywhere, but its incurable fear of ideas, its constant effort to evade the discussion of fundamentals by translating all issues into a few elemental fears, its incessant reduction of all reflection to mere emotion. It is, in the true sense, never well-informed.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“When the reviews are bad I tell my staff that they can join me as I cry all the way to the bank.”
—Wladziu Valentino Liberace (1919–1987)
“I quote another man’s saying; unluckily, that other withdraws himself in the same way, and quotes me.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
