"Violinist
Tobias Preisig, who introduced his quartet at the Freiburg Jazz
Congress, deserves acclaim.
(…)"Preisig
brings a compelling drive to his performance, using inventive bowing
techniques to coax new sounds from his violin."
Reiner
Kobe, Badische Zeitung, May 12, 2010
"Jazz
and violin? Of course. Especially if you play like Tobias Preisig."
Christoph
Giese, Jazzthing Mar/Apr 10
"Hardly
anyone plays jazz so delicately as he does."
Christoph
Merki, Tages-Anzeiger, March 30, 2010
"Preisig
succeeds too, on 'Flowing Mood', in creating a stylistic profile of
his own. Often, he starts out from an underlying mood of elegiac
melancholy, which the band's sensitive ensemble playing draws out
into a melodramatic arc of tension."
Ueli
Bernays, NZZ, March 31, 2010
"In
quartet with pianist Stefan Rusconi, bassist André Pousaz and
percussionist Michi Stulz, he [Tobias Preisig] presents an album that
makes its mark with precision, controlled dynamics and a wealth of
different timbres." Manfred
Papst, NZZ am Sonntag, April 18, 2010
"The
28-year-old Swiss jazz violinist has found his musical voice, and his
'Flowing Mood' is a highly promising debut album"
Stefan
Künzli, AZ Sonntag, March 28, 2010
"The
compositions flow into one another almost as if in a dream and merge
into an atmosphere that is appositely expressed by 'Flowing Mood'.
(…) High above all soars the oscillating violin of Tobias Preisig,
who has mastered the art of bringing an instrument seldom heard in
jazz into concord with the acoustic rhythm section."
Pirmin
Bossart, JAZZ’N’MORE 3/2010
