Review
“Dans nos sociétés mondialisées et standardisées, la passion et la créativité sont des biens précieux. J'aime beaucoup le gamelan en particulier, un peu ensorcelant, complètement hors du temps, exotique et planant. Les compositions de Casteels sont originales avec une démarche intellectuelle et oecuménique très intéressante”.
Nadine Vildé, France
Review
“The music conjures up thoughts of screening pictures behind tunes – wheat blowing in the wind, streams gently gliding their way along sunlit meadows, the turquoise sea tossing itself towards the horizon”.
Rosalie Martin, Melbourne
