Catalin Rotaru has succeeded brilliantly in offering a CD of great masterpieces played in a masterful way. His choice of music places the solo double bass on the high plateau it richly deserves. This recording is a high standard example of superb bass playing and great musicianship.
– Gary Karr

I listened to the new CD from Catalin Rotaru with great anticipation and was given a real treat. I know him to be an instrumentalist and musician of high achievement and here he shows himself to the full. Each of the masterpieces recorded is played with great taste and understanding and he rises above the great demands of the double bass to reach the music in a most convincing way.
– Thomas Martin
