The playing of the Danish guest showed fire as well as a hidden glow. His
rhythmical precision and security is overwhelming and is combined with a
deep sensibility for expression and specific tone colours. His performance
of the Albeniz pieces showed Carsten Gröndahl´s ability of moving deep into
the musical language of different cultures and to transform the notes not
only into resonance of the strings but also of the soul. Passauer Neue Presse, 25/9/04

Gröndahl´s playing showed technical brilliance and a great clarity without
sounding too academic. Seperate chords were very clearly differentiated, the
result sometimes reminded of Glenn Gould´s piano playing. Plattlinger Anzeiger, 28/9/04

”This virtuoso piece was masterly played. Intesity and clarity, with well defined pauses and a heavenly pianissimo. A breathtaking performance" Ystad Allehanda

"His interpretations are among the best I have ever heard" Gitarr och Luta

”A soloist of high calibre” Aalborg Stiftstidende.

”Grøndahl´s intensive engagement and virtuosity is very impressing and promissing” Skånska Dagbladet

”A very mature, glittering and high-classed guitar performance” AV- Media

”Grøndahl is in demand of the technique but he uses it in the service of the music and he has a lot on his hart as a musician” Aalborg Stifstidende.

”Grøndahl is the ideal of a musician. He has a natural, expressive and communicative presence on stage” Arbetet
