Voices
“I am so profoundly affected by my visit to Villa Senar that any expressions of gratitude would fail to conform to the strength of my feelings.”
Lukas Genuisas, Vilnius, Litauen
«Moderner Name, Neues Bauen, das Werk der Architekten Alfred Möri und Karl Friedrich Krebs ist ein Schatz, das als Denkmal nationalen Ranges unter eidgenössischen Schutz gestellt wurde und womöglich bald den Weltkulturerbe zugesprochen bekommen könnte.»
Jan Brachmann, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
“What a thril to be back here!”
Daniil Trifonov, USA
“There is a uniqueness about the sound, which sets this special piano and recording in a class of it’s own. Another wordly, often bell-like qualitiy, the crescendo, building naturally to climaxes.”
David Nice, BBC music magazine
«Lukas Geniusas et Rachmaninoff, sans doute le disque le plus passionnant de cette année anniversaire.»
Serge Martin, Le soir
“My visit to Villa Senar felt so private that I had the impression I was visiting a dear friend at home.”
Doris Elsener
“My impression was absolutely positive, you brought Rachmaninoff back to life in his wonderful home with creative activities.”
Dagmar Staub
“One can visit many places where composers once lived, but this space is particularly special. It is here that Rachmaninoff created a haven for himself and his family.”
Jim Allison, wetaclassical.org
