Richard S. Ginell, The Los Angeles Times (on Gernot Wolfgang's composition "Desert Wind")

"Wolfgang's arresting, jazz-drenched new score seemed to capture at once the realities and myths of Los Angeles during fire season ... This piece could also serve as the score for an archetypical 1950s L.A. detective thriller - music that's somehow cool and sultry at the same time. Wherever your imagination takes you, Wolfgang provides the fuel ... "

Ronald Klimko, The Double Reed

"There is no doubt in my mind that Wolfgang is a major composer of our times ... Gernot continues to turn out an excellent array of some of the best music for bassoon of the 20th century."

J. Scott Morrison, Amazon.com (on Gernot Wolfgang's CD "Common Ground")

" ... Wolfgang creates polytonal, polyphonic music of the highest degree of unpredictability ... Throughout one has the sense that the music is dancing. It has a logic and beauty all its own with closer listening and I found myself utterly beguiled ... This one gets an enthusiastic recommendation [5/5]." (complete review)

Tobias Fischer, Tokafi.com (on Gernot Wolfgang's CD "Common Ground")

" ... it's just like hearing 'Le Sacre du Printemps' for the first time once again. And we can claim without hesitation, that after listening to "Common Ground" you will be able to answer the question whether you've ever experienced shivers down your spine when listening to experimental music with a full-bodied 'Yes!'."

Ensemble (Germany)

" ... [Moods in Blue is] a magnificent piece of music and a wonderful showcase for a bassoon soloist."

Ensemble (Germany)

Concerto and Tiroler Tageszeitung (Austria)

" ... an outstanding composer ... "

Oesterreichische Musikzeitung (Austria)
