«… For many years now, Sarband have been building
breathtaking bridges between cultures and religions …
Their performances count among the most exciting and beautiful concerts
in the entire, extensive Early Music scene …»
Franz Szabo, Kritisches Journal der Alten Musik (Austria), 6-2012
«Wresting Bach's Music From Its Western Moorings.
You could hardly have hoped for a finale better suited to the theme
than «Passio-Compassio», the Ensemble Sarband concert
that closed the festival on Saturday evening at Alice Tully Hall …
Vladimir Ivanoff, the group's director and arranger, has an unfailing instinct
for finding musical ground where his transformations seem natural.»
Allan Kozinn, The New York Time (USA), 21.11.2011

«... a subtle dialogue, atmospherically evocative ... a delight for audience
and musicians. Across all differences in form and sound, parallels and kinships
could be discovered. Turkey was not an exporting country in a musical sense, but,
in turn, absorbed Western currents. The audience has rarely ever applauded so
persistently and so cordially.» Karsten Blüthgen,
