Critical praise for Karl Nyhlin’s debut solo CD:

”Nyhlin plays sweetly, most beautifully, and with lovely phrasing. He always keeps the interest alive in the repetitions that frequently occur in this music, through delicate nuances and subtle colour changes.
A contemplative disc which should get even the most stressed-out of us to wind down and take utter delight.”

It makes you look forward to more solo discs with Karl Nyhlin.”
