"El sentir la guitarra en forma distinta, escuchando sus sonidos
desde la interioridad del hombre, producir la emocion contenida,
recibiendo la respuesta del auditorio a la expresion manifestada,
son algunos de las caracteristicas mas significativas
que Ryuji Kunimatsu nos hace llegar en cada obra que interpreta.
No tenemos duda que la guitarra gane un estupendo interprete
que dara grandes satisfacciones a los que tengan la oportunidad de escucharlo."
- Eurogio Davalos (Director of Barcelona International Guitar Competition)
"Ryuji Kunimatsu es un guitarrista poseedor de excepcionales cualidades musicales.
Su elegante diccion se adapta con naturalidad a los diferentes estilos musicales,
matizando sus interpretaciones con una rica y fina gama timbrica
que sabe extraer de la guitarra.
Une a ello una preparacion musical y una gran capacidad de trabajo
que hacen de el un firme valor de la guitarra."
