“… Kalin Ivanov's tender and buoyant artistry.” (Chopin’s Polonaise Brillante)
“… the cellist [Kalin Ivanov] joined Sobieski in a rapturous reading of Georgi Zlatev-Tcherkin's "Sevdana."
- THE PLAIN DEALER, Cleveland
“Cellist Kalin Ivanov plays with impeccable intonation, idiomatically telling phrasing, and projects a gratifyingly large and variegated tone…I also realize that I’ve been comparing this (30-something?) Bulgarian cellist with Jacqueline du Pré and Mstislav Rostropovich, and that—this august company notwithstanding—he comes out a winner. ”

“Ivanov brings a finely differentiated array of expression to this music…Ivanov produces a big, rich tone, his idiomatic fruity timbre and astringent edge bringing exciting bravura to the tearaway coda…Ivanov alternates virtuosity and rich lyric lines in a tour de force.”
