The artist's position on international music market was confirmed by putting his name on the prestigious list "Ten Top Cellists 2000" published by the magazine "Bow&String".
"Adam Klocek possesses perfect technique and never-failing intonation, and Stradivarius emits intensive, deep and ranging sound. Remarkable personality and artistic imagination definitely distinguish him from among a broad group of young artists playing at concerts. The great spontaneous and intense emotionality is combined with perfect, well considered construction of the composition form and with creation of tensions. The cellist's interpretations sound very individual, but always refined. Listening to Adam Klocek's performances gives you an impression of listening to an old master, who 'already knows so much'."
