REVIEW | SÜDDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG
Helmut Mauró, SZ
Christian Svarfvars Eleganz. With his unpretentious yet elegant, yet concentrated, sensual, yet sweet violin tone.
In contrast to others, Svarfvar never drives off to the pompous, he does not even get into the dripping sentimental or senselessly pleasing.
