"They won the crowd completely with their charm and virtuosity."
"Violinist, Bogdan Vacarescu, is a prime example of this- his fingers move at lightning speed, and the bow even faster, which created ‘wow’, Scream ‘0’ faces across the audience. The classical sound of the violin brought dignity and subtle emotion to the fervoured Gypsy music, making for a passionate, foot-stomping set."
"Their riotous performance placed the great accordions of Milos Milivojevic and Zivorad Nikolic at each side like a musical frame, shifting with understated aplomb from sounding like brooding pianos to whirling barrel organs.
The star of the show was undoubtedly Romanian Bogdan Vacarescu who, while still young, is a virtuoso violinist who could turn any tune into gypsy fare. For pieces like The Skylark and Tarantella his fingers created running cascades of arpeggios full of vibrato trills, glissando slides and contrasting textures using all the tricks available to reach the highest notes possible before zipping down again.
His technical mastery of various fingering styles made it sound at times as if there were at least two fiddlers, particularly noticeable in a brilliantly dancing Czardas. ."
