During the I week astride the months of October and November I have been acting as president of the jury in Wroclaw Guitar Masters Festival Competition. My old friend Krysztof Pełech, who created the Polish event in Wroclaw has been able to involve in its realization both the highest representatives of Culture in Poland and the main Administrative officials of his chosen city. I highly praise him for this great gesture in favor of the recognition of our instrument in Poland and in the whole world. Thanks to his enterprising spirit, the fostering of some of the most talented and advanced participants has received a strong forward push in their difficult path towards a most successful international career.

Andrea and Davide (winners) told me that, in their long experience frequenting the biggest festival in the world, for the first time, they had the sensation to be in the most amazing competition they had ever took part... they said, " Paolo, it was like to be at Chopin, Joachim... Busoni competition. Really outstanding!”
Paolo Pegoraro (guitarist & teacher)

 

Congratulations on organizing such a fantastic event with an extraordinary program.
Alexander Swete (guitarist & teacher)

For many years I have watched in streaming all the most important violin’s or piano’s competitions such as Chopin in Warsaw, Van Cliburn or Thaikowsky in Moscow. I have always asked myself: «Why the guitar’s competitions are so different?». Last week you gave me the answer: there is not a true reason, and you made my wish come true with your Guitar Masters 2016! Congratulations!

Frédéric Zigante (guitarist)
 
The second and the last part of the evening was the performance of Marco Tamayo with the NFM Wrocław Philharmonic conducted by Vladimir Fanshil – Concerto de Toronto, which, in my opinion, constituted a fusion of all the most brilliant film soundtracks written by the ingenious John Williams. Fragments of Jurrasic Park and Stars Wars were to be heard there continously, making a one of a kind original soundtrack. It was an incredible sensation for a person interested in film music – to be able to experience  a déjà vu of a film which never existed. It is worth noting that the numerous sounds coming from the instruments were clear and completely flawless. I have never witnessed anything as engaging as that before.

Proper promotion of the event, high financial prizes (60 000 EUR in total), media support and organizers’ dedication made both of the competitions indisputably join the ranks of the biggest guitar contest in the world. It all resulted in top level finalists’ performances, large number of participants and high resonance of the event all over the world. The festival has been organized in the most exemplary manner, and the promotion of the event was a true masterpiece.
Dariusz Domański (Top Guitar magazine)

 

We congratulate you on the grand finale of the competition and festival! Fantastic young musicians. Music and quality of Alexander Tansman. Congratulations!
Alexander Vinitsky (guitarist and teacher)

 

This is a great festival and the artists are amazing!
Angela Waltner (guitar designer & master guitarmaker)

 

I know it will be a great success.
Adam Holzman (Professor of Guitar)
