"...High individual playing culture and pretty much perfect interaction
of all performers let this daring attempt become an exhilarating experience
as it proves to be conceptually and technically sustainable in equal parts."
Der Bund, Bern, Switzerland, March 2010
"One was particularly curious to hear the "Matteis Project".
Abelin took some themes of Baroque star violinist Nicola Matteis and took
them as the basis of an inventive suite which transports the music into sound
worlds of today...."
Basellandschaftliche Zeitung, Switzerland, March 2010
"The visual aspect of the evening with Matteis' Portrait
and excerpts of US-american experimental filmmaker Bill Morrison lets one
get pulled into the subject and blurres the boundary of genres. The re-imagined
Baroque composer is less touched by the only seemingly disrespecful approach.
To restore means not to make new, says one maxim. In that sense, Baroque sounds
come across in the Matteis Project: not at all overpolished, but superimposed
and thought further."
Badische Zeitung, Germany, March 2011
