American Record Guide 

The beauty of this work cannot be contained in this reviewer's words. Good listening, excellent performer.

[Elena Papandreou] demonstrates her formidable expressive proficiency. She handles it all with a seemingly effortless technique and a poetic sense of her instrument.

[Brouwer is] realized to perfection.

Jim McCutcheon June 2023

 

Gramophone (England)

Elena Papandreou's poetic playing makes you think you are hearing the words even though there is no vocal part.

The recording captures every nuance of Papandreou's playing: as sweet, one might say, as the smell of jasmine. 

lvan Moody, May 2023

 

Soundboard (the Journal of the Guitar Foundation of America)

This is a wonderful album.Every moment of this release is to be savored. Perfect recorded sound (surround sound if you have a SACDplayer) and notes that couldn’t be bettered.

Al Kunze October 2023

 

Gendai Guitar (Japan)

Papandreou knows the key to Hadjidakis' music and her unique sound can be heard in these performances.

Hirofumi Watanabe March 2023

 

Gitarr och Luta (Sweden)

in her performance is the sensation that she is truly singing through the guitar, with an urgency and sincerity that makes this really moving music. The sound processing is pristine, the phrasing wonderfully alive, the dynamic billowing and hearing the wide palette of nuance and expression she demonstrates, is sheer joy. She tells stories with her guitar, and even if these stories cannot be concretely understood or translated into comprehensible words, it is a pleasure to follow their windings from beginning to end.

Ange Turell, February 2023

 

Fanfare (USA)

Papandreou plays exquisitely.She maintains the listener's interest through a long program by producing a wide variety of colors.If you love the guitar, I can recommend this release with enthusiasm.

Από τον Leo Brouwer, για το ρεσιτάλ της Έλενας Παπανδρέου στο φεστιβάλ Guitar Foundation of America (GFA) 2018:

Recently I heard, after some years, Elena Papandreou the guitar soloist, in a great recital.
She mastered not only the performance, but the art of programming! 

It was a joy for me to hear excellence, in music and interpretation. Some
times professionals like her, just rest on the masterpieces repeated
exhaustively...
... Papandreou demonstrates to the public what they want to hear: a wide
variety of good music, no banality and a lot of new stuff. 

Thanks a lot, Elena for your recital!

Leo Brouwer, Οκτώβριος 2018

 


Από τον Roland Dyens για το CD "Elena Papandreou Plays Roland Dyens" (BIS-CD-1366)

It’s a great pleasure and such an honor to see your own music partly recorded on a full CD devoted to….your music. On the other hand, it could be a bit scary too since composers, sometimes, might not be the greatest fans of their own works.
It’s my case...
Nevertheless, thanks to Elena Papandreou and her deep artistry I did not only enjoy listening to her special tribute from Alpha to Zeta but also took advantage of the many unexpected aspects of my music that this outstanding artist has been able to bring out all along the CD, through every tiny part of the pieces selected by her. More than a composer's dream, it’s a real present she did to me actually.

This is indeed what we call talent. And Papandreou is full of it.

Merci Elena.
Efkharisto poli.

Roland Dyens, Απρίλιος 2005
