"Jonathan Östlund's music is poetic, with poetry being his prevailing source of inspiration.
He expertly handles sophisticated harmonies, coupled with a natural melody and lyricism. He embodies luminous, contemporary and varied music which never loses
its humanity and expressiveness. His style belongs to the great composers of this century."
Blandine Waldmann
[Concert Pianist,
Art. Dir. of Clavis Production]
"Ein sehr elegantes Schtuck!,
‘It's my favourite piece in this year’s competition!"

[Cello Maestro,
Honorary Artist of Russia]
"Jonathan Östlund is a composer who reveals an ability to create works that are magical, playful and energetic, but always with a distinctive sound, a sound that will surely appeal to a wide audience."
Bruce Reader

"The double CD 'Lunaris' is a treasure trove of superb new vocal and chamber works in a diverse array of styles, performed by leading international soloists
and the Cellini Quartet."
