THIS IS THE WAY A CELLO SHOULD BE TREATED!
(From the debut in Umeå 1978)
"On the Wednesdays evening was a concert given by the solo cellist Gunnar Malmquist
of the Umeå Symphonics in Tegs church. In the program, there were compositions by Chopin,
Boccherini, Beethoven and Schubert. The concert started with Luigi Boccherini´s
emotional and melodically A major sonata for cello and piano and the audience was
immediately charmed the wonderful smooth and nice cello sound of which carries
much of his brilliant finger technique. Gunnar Malmquist owns a real nature of
art with the music not only in his fingers but also deep in his soul. Do not
miss my good friends to enjoy his art as long as we still have him with us."
( A.V. Sundqvist Västerbottens-Kuriren 1978 )
LONELY CELLO
"Gunnar Malmquist was performing the third of J.S. Bachs six suits for
solo cello, all of them probably composed in 1720. This is a question of music,
which demands a far driven technique, a high developed sense of style and configuration
by the executor. Those qualifications Gunnar Malmquist is in a position of. With big
cleverness, he performed in many sequences the polyphones movements, specially in the
dance movements, the sutile Saraband both the lovely Bourées and finally the vivant
Gigue. The response from the audience was enthusiastic with big applaud".
( L. Bagger-Sjöbäck Norrtelje Tidning 1982 )
TALENTED CELLIST!
"The cellist Gunnar Malmquist visited his hometown last Sunday eve.
He gave a recital in S:t Eskils church. Gunnar Malmquist has an extraordinary
good finger technique, an exquisite beautiful sound and an irreproachable sense
of style". ( A. Hellberg Eskilstuna-
Kuriren 1978 )
CONCERT IN NORRTÄLJE
"The cellist Gunnar Malmquist did an interpretation of the flight of the
Bumble-Bee by Rimsky-Korsakov which was both clever and entertaining. With the
celloplaying of Gunnar Malmquist the music become a new dimension."
(J. Björk Norrtelje Tidning 1996)
FROM A PERFORMANCE AS SOLOIST IN SCHUMANN'S CELLO CONCERTO IN A MINOR
"The cello has the special possibility to create intimate and melancholically
feelings, perhaps because of the similarity to the human voice. Gunnar Malmquist
intermitted this sense of sadness and longing and in the end of the first movement
he had infected the whole orchestra with his entering to the music."
(P. Cederholm Norrtelje Tidning 1996)
