Press reviews

“Never been there - Alexander von Hagke is breaking new ground with Passo Avanti. In contrast to many mild crossover projects, which simply underlay classical melodies with jazz rhythms, von Hagke would like to combine the advantages of both worlds in a fruitful way: the delicacy of classical intonation with the free mobility of time and the harmony of jazz. ”Sueddeutsche Zeitung

"You shouldn't be put off by the pleasant selection of pieces [...] because the arrangements for violin, cello, clarinet and electric guitar have a lot to offer. [...] The big plus of the recording is the seriousness and skill , with which the musicians turn to the classical as well as to jazz. Here, well-known topics are not only briefly alluded to, only to then be taken apart in greater detail. The beauty of the originals always comes into its own. " Jazz ethics
