"Thrilling Rarities"

"The „Piano Windtet“ 4.1 played inspired and relaxed at the Festhalle"

"Such wonderful musical experience! And very rare, on top of that! The ensemble 4.1 must be one of the very few, if not the only „Piano Windtet“ with steady members: four highclass woodwind players and one excellent pianist."

"The piece we heard impressed with its power, accentuated verve, yet soft and almost sweet, romantic, with tender voice."

Badische Zeitung, 5.8.2016 www.badische-zeitung.de
"A totally different, very special type of music!"

Hohenloher Kultursommer: Rhytmical bouncing in the Rondo

"Ensemble 4.1 impressed the entire audience with their performance of seldomly heard works by Beethoven, Gieseking and the American composer Oldberg."

"...a warm and soft-edged sound and wonderfully intimate moments..."

"Thomas Hoppe provided strings of pearls on the keyboard. Beautiful the duets between piano and woodwinds,especially those lyrical moments with the clarinetist, Alexander Glücksmann. The exchange between all instruments made for a high density of sound and depth in emotional layers."
