""In Concert From Bucharest" is an amazing piece of musical artistry. Damian Draghici's fire and passion exude from his songs in a manner that reaches into the heart and soul of the listener, holds them captivated until the very end, and then leaves them longing for more. I find this to be the most moving and compelling performance given by The Virtuoso, to date. I give it my highest recommendation."

"dear damian,
i am a huge fan of yours and have been for the last few years. i have some of your european albums and your american ones too! i personally love this new one "damian in concert from bucharest"! not only do i love the instrument but i also love the music. the whole production was spectacular and very impressive. i think that your new music will give the general american public a new way of listening to world and other cultural music. you make it possible for the average ear to enjoy beautiful music. it is very different from your previous albums but it is just as spectacular. i hope the whole world will hear you and appreciate you for your talent and your concern that the world will understand your musical culture. i am waiting for some more of your music so please start something soon before i wear out my latest cd from you.
sincerely, heather"

"my name is debbie and i just heard about this cd from a girlfriend of mine and she couldnt stop raving about it so i just picked it up last night. i really love it! i wanted to see if he had anymore cd's out too but i decided to write a review first. i love the music and the sound of the flute so much. the singer has an amazing angelic voice and the whole ensemble of musicians are really special. i have never heard any music like it before. i love the ethnic influences and the orchestra and choir that make such a unique sound. i will look for more of his cd's too. honestly i would buy it if you like fantastic music with fantastic musicians. i want to see the dvd too because damian is so... i hope you all enjoy it as much as i did."

"i am a romanian girl who lives in bucharest and i saw the concert live in person. i also know damian has not only beautiful music but a beautiful heart. i read all of the reviews and i was very hurt by what was said and i wanted to say that damian is a wonderful human being who has done many things for his country and for his people. his music makes you feel the pain and joy of his life and it made my country uplifted. i hope my english is well enough to understand and i love you damian and your music. please make more soon and come back home. we all love you so much. te pup dulce, mihaela"
