Avi Avital and Moran Katz
"...Avital's playing, which can be defined as "everything you never dreamt a mandolin could do," was truly breathtaking in virtuosity and dedication. He chose a 2002 piece by the Japanese composer Kuwahara to display the unbounded variety of his mandolin - a unique instrument, as echoing as a violin, which in his hands altered the colors of sounds like a kaleidoscope, dancing to the composer's inventory of sound, hypnotizing and amusing..."
- Noam Ben Ze'ev, Haaretz Daily
"Katz played her instrument with expressive lyricism, secure tone quality and agile technique...A remarkable tour de force, excellent breath control and finger acrobatics...Katz is a charming presence with her warm personality"
