“Cafe Pieces by Vojislav Ivanovic, which was just killer…If I didn’t know Ivanovic’s nationality, I’d be hard pressed to tell from the music. It has an organic plasticity to it that suggests that it is just a hundred percent natural result of his life musical experiences, which is as it should be… it
is indescribable music, but indescribably delicious.” – Southwest guitar festival, LA, February 6, 2009.

 

“Vojislav Ivanovic’s six Café Pieces were a revelation. Tear Prélude seemed like soul-felt, almost cathartic outpouring. The inherent humor in Funny Valse with its gigantic leaps across the register, its turn-on-a dime switch from major to minor and back again, and its elegant
conclusion, was apparent to the listener…” – The Navhind Times Goa India, May 2012.

“…Throughout the movements of this striking work…“Funny Valse” relies a great deal on rhythm and color for its humor…” – Clevelandclassical, October 4, 2011.
