"Daniel Bolshoy is a most engaging young guitarist. He's a terrific player, an engaging performer, with matinee idol good looks. He also loves to introduce his music from the stage, which is becoming increasingly important in developing new audiences for classical music. He's the whole passionate package."
Eric Friesen, CBC Radio, Toronto
