“Etre et rester le maître en toute simplicité. Comment ne pas tomber sous le charme et entre les mains du maître un soir d’avril…”
- Le Journal d’Abbeville (France)

“Jad’s master class was another revelation. He came across as a superb teacher. His knowledge of the repertory and its different stylistic elements is impressive.”
- Matanya Ophee, Soundboard (Krakow International Guitar Festival, Poland)

“Jad Azkoul’s playing, warm and intimate, reaches out to his audience”.
- Colin Cooper, Classical Guitar (London, Wigmore Hall debut)

“Finesse, souplesse et sensibilité son les principales caractéristiques du jeu de Jad Azkoul”
- Est Vaudois (Festival de Guitare, Montreux, Switzerland)

“Azkoul se mostró mas aplomado, logrando extraer de su guitarra un hermoso sonido y demostrando poseer una extraordinaria musicalidad y un gran temperamento…”
- Daniel Stéfani, El Dia (Montevideo, Uruguay)

“The man who found the soul of the guitar. The secret of Jad Azkoul’s preeminence as a classical guitarist goes beyond his mastery of technique.”
- George Miller, IKE (Beirut, Lebanon)

“Azkoul can make his instrument sing. This is a skill far more important than the ability to whip out thousands of notes per minute accurately and expressively, which he can also do.”
- Joseph McLellan, The Washington Post
