HUCKY eichelmann - PRESS REVIEWS - FAR EASTERN ECONOMIC REVIEW worldclass.... bridging the musical worlds of East and West . SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST, HONG KONG ... absolutely meticulous perfection. BUCKINGHAMSHIRE ADVERTISER, ENGLAND No one's ever played the guitar like that. I hadn't known anyone else to get such flowing tone or use such brilliant fingerwork - and I've heard Segovia, Julian Bream and John Williams..... GENDAI GUITAR, TOKYO Abundant musical sense, beautiful tone and good balance of sound. CLASSICAL GUITAR His very first notes showed us that his command of the guitar was 100%. No fluffs and no missed notes, just sheer musical paying. Tonight our expectations, not often met, were graciously satisfied... the playing was beyond reproach. I urge you to see this man. You won't hear his like anywhere else. THE NATION, BANGKOK A Musical AmbassadorHucky loves his instrument and adores his audience, a trait of a true entertainer and musical genius. Biography The name Hucky Eichelmann requires little introduction for Asian audiences, his unique and dazzling guitar style has long been delighting his loyal and ever-increasing audience in the region. The international press has dubbed him as "Musical Ambassador between East and West" and a Bangkok Magazine labeled him the "Musical Ambassador for His Majesty the King of Thailand". An official tribute from the palace described him in glowing terms as an "indefatiguable champion of H.M. the Kings music" after he recorded and published CANDLELIGHT BLUES. He had the great honor to be invited to stage several Royal Command Performances for His Majesty King Bhumipol Adulyadej and for Her Majesty Queen Sirikit of Thailand. Though holding a master degree in classical music, Hucky started very early to develope his own repertoire of great diversity bridging the Cultures of East and West as well as the Classical with the Folkloristic and the Serious with the Popular. A cross-cultural highlight was his work with Pandit Ravi Shankar who, in collaboration with Hucky, re-composed his popular Sitar Concerto No.1 for guitar & orchestra. Other great artists Hucky had the honour to collaborate with include Richard Harvey, George Winston, Nina Corti and Carlos Bonell. He also played alongside such guitar greats as John Williams, Paco Peña, David Russell, Jorge Morel, the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet und Juan Martin. He thrilled audiences during the world's most prestigious guitar festivals in Great Britain, Singapore and Australia. He was privileged to be invited to perform at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City - a rare honour for an instrumentalist. In the words of Pandit Ravi Shankar: "When I heard Hucky's guitar playing a few months ago in Los Angeles, I was extremely impressed and admired his virtuosity and mastery in playing different styles apart from playing the strictly classical. He is a sensitive and wonderful musician. He has my blessings. Mr. George Winston, GRAMMY AWARD winning pianist (April 9, 1998) "Hucky is a great guitarist, arranger, interpreter and composer. I really love his Asia album. He looks deeply into the soul of many cultures. He is truly a world citizen musically and plays with great heart and soul."
