Michael Cretu’s unique combination of skills and experience as a double bass player result in a fascinating and unclassifiable musical blend. Always approachable, his music sits between contemporary classical, jazz, and Balkan folk music, and is played with an emotional immediacy which communicates with audiences in a direct and unforgettable way.

Prof. Alan E. Williams, University of Salford

There is much here to enjoy, whether you like classical, jazz, improvisation, contemporary, or just enjoy hearing really good music. A great CD with much to offer.

David Heyes, Bass Magazine, on The Byzantium Connection

Cretu’s elegant and passionate mastery of the double bass, paired with the sentiment expressed during the talk, makes the moment a profound and rich testimony of history and culture.
