"We wanted to thank you again for your fantastic musical contribution last Saturday. My brother was very pleasantly surprised, especially since he's a keyboardist himself. And the music was just right in style and volume."

Eternal Triangle
"Jazz in Britain has set up a new music imprint: Jazz Now. The first release is Gravity by Eternal Triangle. Watts is a phenomenon. Just listen and enjoy the surge of music from this new group. What a celebration of the fullness of life and optimism.
Watts has emerged from the UK avant-garde. He has a vast curriculum vitae: Spontaneous Music Ensemble, Amalgam in the 1960s and '70s and Moiré Music in the '80s and beyond. Watts has commented on the intolerance and backbiting of the scene. He has gone beyond that now. This is a man who seeks out melodies, relishes tunes, loves rhythms. His music and his mind are effervescent."

Chic Music is so talented and everyone at our wedding gave us compliments for choosing them. I highly recommend them!"

Nikola Honcharenko & Altina Destani
"Außergewöhnliche musikalische Qualität und starke Bühnenpräsenz
Die Zusammenarbeit von Mykola Honcharenko und Altina Destani überzeugt auf ganzer Linie. Hier treffen zwei Künstler aufeinander, die nicht nur technisch auf sehr hohem Niveau arbeiten, sondern auch ein feines Gespür für Atmosphäre und Publikum mitbringen.
Honcharenko beeindruckt durch seine Vielseitigkeit und musikalische Bandbreite. Seine Arrangements wirken durchdacht, ohne überladen zu sein, und schaffen eine solide Grundlage für die gemeinsamen Auftritte. Dabei gelingt es ihm, unterschiedliche Stilrichtungen – von klassischer Musik bis hin zu modernen Einflüssen – stimmig zu verbinden.
Altina Destani ergänzt dieses Fundament mit einer ausdrucksstarken, klar geführten Stimme. Ihre Interpretation klassischer Arien ist ebenso überzeugend wie ihre Ausflüge in andere Genres. Besonders hervorzuheben ist ihre Fähigkeit, Emotionen präzise zu transportieren, ohne dabei an technischer Kontrolle zu verlieren.
Im Zusammenspiel entsteht eine Dynamik, die beim Publikum unmittelbar ankommt. Die Auftritte wirken authentisch, konzentriert und gleichzeitig lebendig. Man merkt, dass hier nicht einfach ein Programm abgespult wird, sondern echte musikalische Interaktion stattfindet.
Darüber hinaus ist auch der kulturelle Kontext ihrer Zusammenarbeit bemerkenswert. Unterschiedliche musikalische Hintergründe werden nicht nur nebeneinandergestellt, sondern sinnvoll miteinander verknüpft. Das verleiht dem Gesamtprojekt eine zusätzliche inhaltliche Tiefe.
Unterm Strich handelt es sich um ein künstlerisch sehr stimmiges Gesamtbild mit klarer Handschrift und hoher Qualität.
-----------------------------------------
Outstanding musical quality and compelling stage presence
The collaboration between Mykola Honcharenko and Altina Destani stands out as consistently impressive. Both artists demonstrate not only a high level of technical skill but also a strong sense of musical expression and audience engagement.
Honcharenko brings notable versatility to the performance. His arrangements are well-structured and balanced, allowing different musical styles to blend naturally without feeling forced. He creates a solid and flexible foundation that supports the overall artistic direction.
Altina Destani complements this with a powerful and well-controlled voice. Her interpretations of classical pieces are precise and expressive, while her ability to move across genres adds further depth. What is particularly striking is her capacity to convey emotion clearly without compromising technical quality.
Together, they create a dynamic and authentic performance. There is a clear sense of interaction rather than routine execution, which translates into a strong connection with the audience. The performances feel focused, yet vibrant and engaging.
Another notable aspect is the cultural dimension of their collaboration. Different musical traditions are not merely juxtaposed but thoughtfully integrated, resulting in a coherent and meaningful artistic outcome.
Overall, this is a highly convincing and well-rounded artistic partnership with a distinct identity and consistently high quality."
