“The Authentic Guitar Virtuoso”- Sydney Morning Herald

“Bruce’s musical vision is simply astonishing!”
  Sorrel Wilby Australian Geographic

"This is an addictive CD from a player with a broad, quirky musical imagination and the chops to express it!" -
Ron Forbes-Roberts
Acoustic Guitar Magazine USA

"This virtuoso, who picked up the guitar at the age of seven, is one of Australia’s musical superstars. That early ten hour a day practice regime on the family wheat farm in rural Victoria has given Bruce Mathiske a rock solid technique that is quite simply  dazzling. Black suited and tall as a hop pole, the  Leo Kottke, BB King and Chet Atkins inspired soloist can make his six strings do tricks that leave an audience  in thrall. Flamenco, Jazz Classical, the notes explode from both hands leaving you to wonder if there is another Mathiske in the wings. By the time he had added the didgeridoo and wowed us with outrageous harmonics from far flung corners of his guitar, we were all his!" Adrian Morgan - The Scotsman Edinburgh Festival

"The music is electric and exciting, marrying the sounds of the orchestra and guitar perfectly. These pieces are a wonderful addition to the limited Guitar/Orchestra repertoire!”
 – Sarah-Grace Williams, Artistic Director and Chief Conductor, The Metropolitan Orchestra 

"The Mathiske Suites represent an amalgam of musical styles from Australia, Europe and South America! The music is fresh, approachable and loved by audiences and musicians alike. Bruce is a master of his instrument and a true musician.”
