One of the elements in my music is an obsession for equal and unequal sounding identical information. Luckily I never had this obsession treated.

The level of teacher and students was so poor that the pieces were never played.

Robert Nasveld writes exceptionally beautiful music, although its beauty is not pastoral, but contradictory, unstable, disturbing, capable of stimulating all spiritual forces of the listener.

Crumb himself could not have wished for a better recording.

Volkskrant, CD review

Even when things could theoretically become serious, for example in Six Cavafy songs (2009), a song cycle using the poetry of Greek poet Kavafis, the tone remains springlike and sparking.

Robert Nasveld’s set of the Complete Works for One Piano by George Crumb is well worth having.

Peter Dickinson in Gramophone

Robert Nasveld presents a wonderful example of the bitter melancholy that is the essence of the blues with his beautiful Frozen Blues.

Frits van der Waa, Volkskrant

Nasveld has always been a wayward composer, showing little interest in trends.

Frits van der Waa, Volkskrant

My reference for comparison with Crumb’s Makrokosmos IV is that of Robert Nasveld on the Attacca label, 9371 and 9372. My main reason for selecting this version is that it has always come out on top, all other recordings which I have come across long having gone by the wayside.

Dominy Clements, Musicweb Review

He understands my music as no other.

George Crumb in NRC Handelsblad

Robert Nasveld’s music presented surprising power of expression.

Frau Dr. Alena Borková in Rovnost

When you are at a dead end with a student, ‘Hand over Hand’ has funny, exciting, sensitive pieces to make him/her enthusiastic again.
