"Already with the ringing of the first notes the sensitivity and remarkable tone colour of the two musicians became apparent
... outstanding balance with an almost infinite palette of timbre ... Total command of their instruments allowed them to
play with such delight that throroughly enthralled the audience ... easy mastering of all virtuos passages ... Hans-Peter
Nauk played technically demanding movements with great precision ... with his brilliant flute playing Andreas Evers was able
to concentrate the rhythmical power of the works. As their instruments were blended into one unit, they magnificently
created the finale of the 'Undine-Sonata' by Reinecke and immediately captured the peace of the final chords, creating the
impression that nature would become reconciled with itself again."
HESSISCH-NIEDERSAECHSISCHE ALLGEMEINE, Germany
"... Flutes in perfect shape ... Trio of the highest level ... The evening concert with Brooks de Wetter-Smith, Andreas
Evers and Hans-Peter Nauk was the peak of the season. It would have brought honour to biggest concert halls in Europe.
Brooks de Wetter-Smith (USA), Andreas Evers (Principal Flutist with the Camerata Instrumentale Bremen, Germany) and pianist
Hans-Peter Nauk founded a trio that cannot be outperformed in terms of technical perfection, tonal homogeneity and sparkling
virtuosity ... With their ingenious inspiration and unbelieveable virtuosity, the trio amazed and astonished the large
audience. Tonal beauty and expression of the flutes were noteworthy after the intermission. The audience listened
breathlessly to the intimate alternate playing of the flutes ... Pianist Hans-Peter Nauk played with sensitively and
technical brilliance. The enthusiastic audience demanded encores."
PEINER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG, Germany
"... absolutely relaxed and supple sound, open and marvellously pure upper register, sophisticated vibrato and cleverly
sparkling articulation -- there was the droll and antique pastoral good Pan poking out of every movement! ... virtuosity
never turned into decoration ... an evening full of musical paintings of sound."
NEUE WUERTTEMBERGISCHE ZEITUNG, Germany
"Two magic flutes stirring and winged ... A concert with bravura as a conclusion of the season -- A fantastic journey ... a
music evening full of brilliancy ... Already after the first piece there was long extended applause. Well, the audience may
have already realized what pleasure could be expected. The guests were Brooks de Wetter-Smith and Andreas Evers (flute), and
Hans-Peter Nauk (piano). 'Fantastic Flutes' was the titel of the concert evening, and 'fantastic' is the full valued
estimation for a performance full of brilliancy, poetry and sparkling grace. The musicians immersed into a pleasant and
beautiful light. In a gay-gentle alternate playing, with a miraculous Adagio, in order to jump away in the jolly Allegro of
the Finale. The performance had a certain class showing how comprehensive an instrument can be. The three gentlemen
performed refreshing, stirring and winged ... The great attraction of the evening was indoubtedly the Concerto for two
Flutes and Orchestra in d minor by Franz Doppler. An admirable Hans-Peter Nauk at the grand piano dealing with the complete
part of the orchestra including the sparkling scales of the harp and two flutists with a vital style of playing and full of
character. Bravo!"
