It’s hard to describe the spell Steidl casts over an audience but it is almost magical. “The best concert of the season” was the prominent post-concert opinion of his last performance in San Francisco.
Pavel Steidl often uses unique gestures during his performances (both facial gestures, and motions with hands and body) that he feels give an additional dimension to his playing, e.g. showing his expressive involvement in the music, being a personal way of helping his phrasing become lyrical (with voice-gestures - using the guitar, but "expressing like a singer"), serving to underline certain melodies and their character, or hinting at crescendo in held chords (even though the strings' vibrations are getting softer), expressing fun/joy, entertaining, etc.
“…an astonishing concert. The entire audience rose to its feet. He plays with a vivid expression as if he was the music’s creator.” Gendai Guitar, Japan
