Citas & Recomendaciones
“Thomastik-Infeld strings fully live up to my inner conception and vision of sound. When I play on them, I have the impression that their timbre more closely resembles that of the human voice than that of a string.”
— Petru Iuga — Thomastik-Infeld Artist Endorsement
“The double bass is capable of producing sensuous melodies that enchant the ear and stir the heart.”
— Petru Iuga — Album Liner Notes
“Known for dramatic and passionate performances that redefine the expressive possibilities of the double bass.”
