"Breathtaking virtuosity, revealing the phenomenal capabilities of Gilad Harel on his instrument.”
“A true virtuoso who showed how much pleasure one can have from controlling one's instrument, and how much talent and creativity is needed for that."

"What playing! What energy!
Harel is a clarinetist with incredible presence, rich and deep sound and exploding playing."

“Harel sung and sobbed by life, prayed and laughed in sky-high tones and in basses that gently caress the soul.”

“The freewheeling fluency of Harel’s clarinet playing was certainly arresting.”
