reception

"But it is no mystery that Dylla has been dominating guitar competitions world-wide and is performing his Carnegie Hall debut this week. There are simply few guitarists who can play with his finesse, musicality, and command. "

- James Flood, April 9, 2013, Published on ClevelandClassical.com

"Dylla's a world-class virtuoso - you don't win first prize at 19 international competitions for nothing - and the evening was a riveting display of guitar technique. But it wasn't his pinpoint accuracy that dazzled, so much as his deeply felt, almost sensual poeticism. This was playing of almost Romantic-era passion - and it was impossible not to be moved by it. "

- Stephen Brookes, April 14, 2013, Washington Post

"Incredible is a word used far too frequently these days, with the result that it has lost much of its original impact and has come to signify merely something good rather than something unbelievable. Polish guitarist and German resident Marcin Dylla restored the meaning of the word Saturday in an absolutely stunning concert, the final event in GuitarSarasota's current season. "

- Richard Storm: March 23, 2009, Herald Tribune

“The performance of the Polish world-class guitarist Marcin Dylla in the Wehrer Stadthalle at the start of the" Akkorde "festival was extremely intense. ... Very virtuoso, light as a feather and lightning fast, his fingers conjure up the sound images and effects from his instrument, sunken, elegiac moments as well as percussive hits on the guitar body and violent passages, which he plays in such a fabulous rasgueado technique that it is like pure magic works. "

- Roswitha Frey: September 22, 2009, Badische Zeitung
