Press review
These are some excerpts from press releases.
»... autonomous are also the arrangements of the Detmold trombone quintet Slide-O-Five. Although the quintet formed around Matthias Krüger,
music teacher and bass trombonist from Detmold, has only existed for two and a half years, they have already played themselves
into an extraordinary good reputation, a fact was once more proved by the quintet in Willebadessen with their dashing musical mix
of classic, jazz and contemporary music.«
Neue Westfälische, July 17th, 2006
»Lisa Kuhlemann, Felix Ruoff, Caroline Gehler, Matthias Krüger and Marie-Luise Scherpe are masters of their line. [...]
With their versatile programme comprising the musical themes of James Bond and the Pink Panther as well as West Side Story, the ensemble
recently carried away their audience in the Lutheran Erlöserkirche in Bad Salzuflen. Competent both in intonation and style and with great expressiveness.
Highly recommendable!«
Unsere Kirche / Lippe evangelisch, March 12th, 2006
»Slide-O-Five then presented well-known, for brass musicians rather difficult compositions, right across the garden
of muscal variety, with great easiness and audible joy at making music. [...] The trombone chords, both powerful and gentle, the playing together of the musicians,
which was both clear and harmonical, as well as the acoustic spatiality of the church cast a spell on the audiens who didn't stint their applause!«
Lippische Landeszeitung, February 28th, 2006
»All of them perfect at their instruments. Playing apparently effortless, having fun. That is catching. That darts over.«
Volksstimme, July 2005
»Marie-Luise Scherpe had arranged several pieces for the trombone quintet and composed the piece "Engel"
(i.e. Angel) herself, which made many a member of the audience close their eyes in realm. [...] Under the direction of Matthias Krüger
Slide-O-Five offered a real treat for the ears to the audience in this Sunday afternoon.«
