“The harmonica has long been regarded as the humblest of musical instruments, and yet, as Mr. Thielemans and Mr. Maret show, when played at its best, it is more than capable of expressing the deepest feelings in the human experience.” – Wall Street Journal

“Wherever his ideas take him he follows them, and the rest of his superb European Quartet miraculously keep up with him.” – The Guardian
