„Ivan Skanavi masterfully possesses all the possible shades of sound produced by his instrument (that also highly benefits his arrangements). He knows how to reveal the best of its melodic character, and he really dares to show his true expression, that, unfortunately, can hardly be said about many soloists nowadays. He does not fixate on speed, and therefore on virtuosity („Hear me!“), but he understands the art of letting music breath, even in fast passages.“ (Opus Klassiek, Aart van der Wal about Skanavi’s debut CD “Dimensions” released on “decurio”)
