criticism

“Albrecht Menzel was terrific. His bright, multi-faceted game, with a highly disciplined, withdrawn demeanor, gave pleasure at the highest level "

- Augsburg General

"Albrecht Menzel plunged fearlessly and flawlessly into double stops, runs and tricks such as the interplay between bow attacks and finger pizzicato"

- Hamburger Abendblatt

"The Schumann Violin Concerto, an excellent and highly virtuoso performance, makes Menzel's lecture look real, not ironed out and blown up, but as honest as it is meant"

- Hamburger Abendblatt

"Menzel plays in a structured and carefully considered manner, acts with feeling without being overly romantic"

- Rhein-Zeitung zu Bach: Sonatas and Partitas
