Clarino. print (german brass magazine)
The German-Polish-Persian composer puts together his own compositions and arrangements that have what makes klezmer so special.
Forte (german brass magazine)
They are varied, combine melancholy with humor, pair high spirits with misery and combine tradition with originality.
Bayerische Blasmusik (bavarian brass music)
Matejko's compositions have vivid titles that you can actually hear. The choice of pieces is very varied, atmospheric and passionate. They are fun to listen to as well as to play.
