“Diese Musik mit Ihrer Spielart hat mich tief beeindruckt. Sie hat eine meditative Ruhe aber doch gleichzeitig sehr starke innere Kraft. Diese Intensität ist wie eine Zentripetalkraft, die Menschen zur Einkehr führen könnte.” - Emiko Wilhelm
““A Quiet Place” from composer/guitarist Konstantine Margaritis’ is a four part ultra modern guitar piece undoubtably influenced by the dark and uncertain weeks of early 2020. In it Margaritis explores this new reality we are experiencing through the many voices and nuances of the classical guitar in a unique musical language that is unsettled and pleasantly melancholic. Skillfully executed, each of the four movements contrasts the others while together offers and impressive compositional and technical feat. The guitarist’s use of difficult tremolo and polyphonic techniques interest both the critical and passive listener. With a fresh, uncompromising musicality, “A Quiet Place” grabs the listener and doesn’t let go, allowing ones imagination and feelings to sync with those of the composer and the times at large. ” - D. Ondaro
