Review of Hallucination (the original concerto):

In the beginning of the piece - a lonely clarinet evolving so modestly that the notes rather underline the silence, salutes it, the strings join in like a gentle touch, gliding and atonal but in such a peaceful manner that the nervous wave calms down immediately. This is contrasted by stressful sections. In conclusion a very exciting piece of music. A kind of sweet melancholy performed by a well sounding orchestra and a very sensitive clarinet - which the piece demands – played by Håkan Rosengren.

Recension av Hallucination (den urspringliga konserten):

I början av stycket en ensam klarinett som växer fram så försynt att tonerna snarare understryker tystnaden, hyllar den, stråkarna växer in som en smekning, glidande och atonalt men med ett sådant vilande föredrag att den oroliga nervvågen lägger sig blank med en gång. Detta avlöses av oroande partier. Över huvud taget ett mycket spännande stycke musik. Ett slags ljuv melankoli framfört av en välspelande orkester och ljud från en mycket känslig klarinett - vilket stycket kräver - trakterad av Håkan Rosengren
