“Harmonikansoittaja Markku Lepist\u00f6n ja urkuri Mikko Heleniuksen sovitukset ja s\u00e4vellykset, usein pohjanaan tanssit (polska, valssi), punovat yhteen onnistuneesti kansanmusiikkia ja klassista.” **** Veijo Murtom\u00e4ki, Helsingin Sanomat 10.4.2019.

“Levy\u00e4 kuunnellessa huomio kiinnittyy erityisesti siihen, kuinka yll\u00e4tt\u00e4v\u00e4n samankaltaisia soittimia v\u00e4h\u00e4rivinen haitari ja urut sointiv\u00e4rilt\u00e4\u00e4n ovat. Kyseisen soitinyhdistelm\u00e4n muodostama \u00e4\u00e4nimaisema on samaan aikaan ilmava, s\u00e4vyk\u00e4s ja jylh\u00e4.” Hanna Ryyn\u00e4nen, Kansanmusiikki 1\/2019.

“Urkujen rikas sointi limittyy harmonikan kepeyteen elinvoimaisesti,
mik\u00e4 tekee kokonaisuudesta vaikuttavan. El\u00e4myksen eri puolet kiteytyv\u00e4t haikeasti askeltavaan Lakeuden Risti -teokseen sek\u00e4 uhkeaan kuusiosaiseen s\u00e4vellyssarjaan.”<\/em> **** Juha Seitz, sanomalehti Ilkka ja Pohjalainen, 02\/2019. (Bellows and Pipes -levyarvostelu)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Levyn ydin on kuitenkin Markku Lepist\u00f6n s\u00e4velt\u00e4m\u00e4 kuusiosainen sarja harmonikalle ja uruille. Jylh\u00e4t urut viev\u00e4t alkusoiton nimiins\u00e4, ja kyll\u00e4 vain, t\u00e4m\u00e4n biisin voisi helposti kuvitella my\u00f6s progeb\u00e4ndin massivisena luukutuksena. Sittemmin Lepist\u00f6 taitavasti rinnastaa ja asettaa vastakkain urkujen \u201dkirkollisen\u201d l\u00e4hestymistavan ja omasta musiikillisesta taustastaan kumpuavan haitarin kansanmusiikillisuuden.”<\/em> ****<\/strong>* Pentti Ronkanen, SuomiJazz.com, 02\/2019.

“In Solos he moves ever onward with newish compositions, and some older, that really explore the instrument\u2019s tonal and rhythmic range, from minimalist puffing to masterfully, fluidly melodious and lyrical. The modestly brilliant Lepist\u00f6 is far beyond any need to display chops, and in this entirely solo album, with occasional touches of effects, and a guest bittern, he brings out pretty much every sound his Beltuna can make, and it\u2019s a rich, con- stantly interesting and complete listen.”<\/em> Andrew Cronshaw, fRoots 421, 06\/2018 (SOLOS review)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Hieno SOLOS ylitt\u00e4\u00e4 kokonaisuutena genrerajat niin ett\u00e4 heilahtaa.”<\/em> ***** Kimmo Nevalainen, Sanomalehti Karjalainen, 03\/2018 (SOLOS -levyarvostelu)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“His technique and tone are exquisite, but what makes this album stand out is the confident beauty: the determination to explore his instrument and the possibilities of production techniques, used with characterestic subtlety.”<\/em> **** Fiona Talkington, Songlines Magazine #138, 06\/2018 (SOLOS review)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The one time that sounds cinematic, then almost sacral or melancholic, and elsewhere slightly jazzy. With ‘Solos’ Markku Lepist\u00f6 proves the accordion is not the boring old-fashioned instrument it’s often taken for.”<\/em> Rebelbase.com, 04\/2018 (SOLOS review)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Solos \u00e4r r\u00e4tt och sl\u00e4tt en stark platta som s\u00e4kert ocks\u00e5 noteras i internationella kretsar d\u00e4r man redan l\u00e4nge beundrat h\u00f6gklassig finsk dragspelsmusik.”<\/em> Ole Nerdrum, Huvudstadsbladet, 05\/2019 (SOLOS skivrecension)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Markku Lepist\u00f6 geht mit seinen Melodien um wie der Maler mit seiner Farben-Palette: es entstehen Landschaften, Stimmungen. W\u00e4re der Titel nicht schon vergeben, man k\u00f6nnte sagen: Es sind Bilder einer Ausstellung, gemalt mit einem einzigen Instrument.”<\/em> ***** Globalsounds.info, 04\/2018 (SOLOS review)<\/strong>
