TESTIMONIALS
 "David
Gusakov is a remarkably versatile musician, with a firm command of every
style from swing and classical to bluegrass and beyond. Reflecting this
eclectic background, his compositions are tuneful and engaging -- perfect
for your special event."

 "I have worked professionally with David Gusakov for 20 years.
As a violinist who plays many symphony-sponsored young people's concerts
annually, I have performed David's arrangements literally hundreds of
times. It is a testament to his skills as an arranger that after years
of performance his work remains fresh and enjoyable for seasoned professionals
and first-time hearers alike."

 "When
my sister Amy planned to get married a couple of years ago, I started
thinking about gifts. The usual kitchenware, towels, etc. somehow lacked
the joy or creativity I hoped for. Fortunately, I learned of David Gusakov's
talent for composing original wedding music. We spoke briefly about what
I had in mind, including my ability as an amateur violinist. Soon, I
received a working copy of a lovely, haunting waltz, accompanied by a
tape of the piece arranged for solo violin. During Amy and John's
ceremony I played Gusakov's composition on violin. Later on, I presented
my sister and her husband with the composer's beautifully written,
final draft of their own romantic wedding waltz. They loved this
creative and joyful gift of music!"

 "As
a fiddler with a variety of groups in the past 30 years, David has explored
a wide range of folk traditions, including celtic, old time, and gypsy-jazz.
Such a diverse array of styles gives an indication of the breadth of David's expression
as a composer as well as an instrumentalist. It is unusual for a musician so grounded in classical technique
to be so alert to the nuances of folk tradition."
