“Both ensembles shine with their differentiated sound, made possible by Gubelmann’s impressive and complex arrangement. The string orchestra is not only used as a sound carpet, as is occasionally heard in other works, but here has an equal role alongside the jazz quartet, which performs at an equally high level – both ensembles merge into one.” (Das Orchester)
“The charm of this music lies in its diversity, which results from different styles, genres and eras. An impressive symbiosis of the foreign and the familiar is achieved, which invites you on a journey through the very special cosmos of this music. It is a pleasure to follow the highly professional formation on its journey through ever new, surprising worlds of sound.” (Klassik Begeistert)
“A masterpiece!” (O-Ton)
“Symphonic expressiveness and jazz improvisation become equal components. It is precisely here that the sovereignty of this encounter between the Musikkollegium Winterthur and the jazz quartet led by Daniel Gubelmann becomes apparent.“ (NRW Jazz Net)
“The performances, crisp, stylish, and tonally lovely, are reproduced in excellent sound. If Eternal Movement breaks no new ground either in concept or execution, it nonetheless provides an hour of attractive and engaging music.“ (Fanfare Magazine, USA)
„Daniel Gubelmann’s saxophone playing fits perfectly with the string sound as well as the jazz combo. With its full, sonorous tone, it offers the whole range from contemplative to expressive-virtuoso. The whole composition tells an exciting and varied story with many surprising twists and turns – if you hear the beginning, you will want to listen to the CD to the end.“ (Das Orchester)
