REVIEWS FROM VENICE
A review from Venice at the Basilica dei Frari:
“The musicality of Lars Forslund was revealed especially in the Adagio of the Sonatina in C minor for mandolin and harpsichord by Beethoven, which was rendered with subtlety of phrasing and subtle nuances of expression". Letizia Michielon, Il Gazzettino

A review from Venice at the Palazzo Querini:
“Forslund was the master of about every nuance of dynamics and tone you could imagine in the mandolin, as well as some you might not. He could make the instrument sharp and piercing, as well as muted and dark". Michel Miller Berkshire Review
