"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."

"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."

"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."
