Reviews of the CD “Revelations”

Some reviews on the new CD Revelations:

Klaverdal writes music that is infectious with spontaneity… the music is light and playful… a music that is bubbling with colourful dance effects.
Matti Edén, Sydsvenskan may 2010, http://www.sydsvenskan.se

… listened to the Revelations-CD on C-Y contemporary with five chamber music pieces by Stefan Klaverdal (*1975): very powerful string quartet!
Walter Ekellin, June 2010, http://www.ekelin.org/

In my ears: Stefan Klaverdal och Tippet Quartet. Very exiting art music that moves in and out of different genres. With power!
