| "Talk
about using the accordion in a manner that will appeal to all who like
inspired music making, whether in the so-called classical genre or the
equally so-called popular/commercial idiom … Every note is played with
excellence and pure exhilaration..." Review in www.accordions.com

| "Kujala's excellent accordion
debut" Helsingin Sanomat / Jukka Hauru 31.10.-04 |
| "Well
chosen pieces reassure that the southern sun and the dark northern
melancholy blend together forming sensitive and original music ... The
magnificent band plays all the way through extremely skillfully
concentrating in details and emphasizing the characters of compositions."
