The album “Guitar Vibes” reviewed:
Classical Guitar Magazine, USA: “plenty of variety here, from the sonorous to the abstract; eerie to sublime.”
Klassieke Zaken, Netherlands: “Izhar Elias is one of today’s most versatile guitarists”.
Nederlands Dagblad, Netherlands: “remarkably lively playing and interesting program choice”
Stretto, Belgium: “This is a remarkably original and very very special CD, and an invitation to explore the other beautiful recordings which Izhar Elias made for Brilliant Classics.”
NRC, Netherlands: “Tríptico, incredibly played by Izhar Elias and the Matangi Quartet, is a treat of unusual colors and timbres.”
Opus Klassiek, Netherlands: “fascinating cross-overs and huge musical synergy
About the album “Sharkiya”:
“Izhar Elias’s playing is sensitive and imaginative, from his evocative, magical playing of the intimate Preludio, to the disquieting, somewhat Spanish-flavoured Toccata temporarily relieved by cascades of chords. “
“Braun’s Partita constitutes a rich item of 20th century guitar repertoire.”
