Kacper Nowak is a well established Polish concert cellist based in Brussels. Gary Hoffman describes him as
„a most gifted young cellist with exceptional technical attributes and a very natural and
unmannered approach to music”
The Belgian broadcasting network (RTBF): „Kacper Nowak undoubtedly has the stature of a soloist with a voluptuous, warm, powerful, but always elegant sound. But the element that charmed us the most is perhaps his stylistic accuracy: whether he plays J-S. Bach, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky or Martinu, Kacper Nowak is credible, andthat, in our eyes, is the height of refinement.”
Ruch muzyczny (Polish leading classical music magazine) "Kacper Nowak proved to be an absolutely sensational cellist..." "His climaxes, approached withgrandeur, vigor, and vitality; the passion, wonderfully executed Elfenmotivik in Mendelssohn, aswell as the played with lively tempo Fantasiestücke by Schumann, with significant dynamic contrasts, asif hidden within the meter and prosody of a song, were unparalleled."
