PRESS REVIEWS: “dramatic urgency and expressive tone of cellist Kalin Ivanov ” - THE STRAD, Magazine, London/New York “ one of the most celebrated cellists of his generation” - MUSICAL OPINION, Magazine, England “Great performance during the whole night! The soloist [K.Ivanov] and the orchestra.” - Moscow Pravda “Kalin Ivanov is a phenomenon in the palette of the most talented musicians” - WORLD PANORAMA, Magazine, Bulgaria “His deep, emotional, and poetic performing style was warmly accepted from the audience.” - MOSCOW North, Russia “Mr. Ivanov displayed solid, disciplined technique and a pure tone” - NEW YORK CONCERT REVIEW, Magazine, New York “recognized master of the cello” - MUSIC LIFE, Magazine, Moscow “performed by Ivanov with extraordinary perfection and refinement” “musical details were skillfully caught and interpreted” - NEWS-BG, New York “extraordinary professional cellist … excellent technical skills and stylistic interpretations… his performance is undoubtedly Number 1.” - NEDELNIK, New York The impressive Sonata for Cello and Piano (2003) with Kalin Ivanov and accompanist Elena Antimova is arguably the most satisfying item on Petrova's album. The Elegy has the substance and dignity (Bulgarian qualities) I missed elsewhere on this CD and the duo brings the work to its conclusion with a robust degree of fiery abandon. … recording is clean and full-bodied with splendid performances from start to finish. - Music & Vision, UK Daily Classical Music Magazine “From the lowest register of the cello to the soaring heights, Kalin Ivanov is able to demonstrate real power and clarity of tone. Schumann’s Fantasiestücke receive a well crafted performance, with impassioned singing lines from Ivanov… showcasing Mr. Ivanov’s undeniably gorgeous cello tone. Mr. Ivanov is a cellist of admirable expressive capability, from whom I have no doubt we shall hear more in future. - Leon Bosh
