"If you love the solo violin, you won´t find a better recording to suit your tastes"
"this is one of the great Piazzolla discs, and in perfect sound quality, I urge you to buy it."

"unusual depth and broad compass…absolutely brilliant… unmistakable vitality…optimally recorded"
"one comes away from the recording dazzled by Cotik´s musicianship and technique; one is also struck by the agility of his execution, his expert command of tempo and intonation, and his ability to consistently maintain the highest level of performance"
"we can confidently be guided by these sublime interpretations of high musical quality, technically brilliantly executed, and demonstrating an impressive insight into what this music is capable of even in transcribed form… The recording, once again made at Portland State University in Oregon, is again a gem. Cotik has certainly not done things by halves in this regard either, as he also served as the producer and recording engineer"
"clarity and tonal opulence rare in recordings of violin music"
"we are treated to Cotik’s masterclass in Baroque performance technique and interpretation"
"It was clear that the Argentinian-born Cotik has Piazzolla’s music in his blood. It was to be expected that he would be able to exploit everything that these arrangements require technically. But more importantly, he knew how to capture the spirit of the music, from subtle sensuality and longing to fierce passion and supreme virtuosity."
"The CD recording is his seventeenth in ten years, yet no sign of fatigue is evident when his passion for the material translates into performances of immense appeal…Cotik invests the material with so much life. Listening to him play is never less than a pleasure, and all twelve pieces are brought vividly and expressively to life."
