‘A highpoint (of the festival) was certainly the evening with the American guitarist David Tanenbaum, who is one of the most renowned international artists of that speciality. How cleanly Tanenbaum has mastered the sounds and at the same time playing with amazing acrobatics.’ Heinz Zietsch, Feb. 17, 2006, Darmstadter Echo
