Ronny Wiesauer: Figures and Shapes
by Geno Thackara
Amidst his occasional outings with combinations of other players, Ronny Wiesauer keeps drifting back to a personal niche that is reliably comfortable and comforting. When settled in alone with a guitar, he spins pastoral meditations with the easy-flowing smoothness of a daydream--this is contemplative territory sometimes reminiscent of Ralph Towner or Pat Metheny, though without making those nods terribly obvious. Jazzy modes pop up in spots like the light jaunty “Strolling," but the more frequent tinges come from his classical ...

There's a certain mix of emotions that always comes with the end of summer, and if it may not be possible to sublimate it all straight into sound, Ronny Wiesauer does an admirable job at capturing some of the shades.

If you are willing to learn, learn from the best. Guitarist Ronny Wiesauer has clearly taken the right lessons from the likes of Egberto Gismonti and Ralph Towner--he is a happily understated player, at home in the worlds of studious classical and informal jazz alike. He has played in different contexts and featured his own pieces among programs of others' songs, but hadn't made an entirely solo and self-penned recording until this one. It feels like the idea has arrived ...

by Mike Jurkovic
Austrian classical guitarist/composer Ronny Wiesauer may have named his fourth recording Chants To The Sea, but it seems like this is more songs for the road. The twilight rides, the rides going nowhere but deeper into self, the ride home. Using his studied understanding of the hexachordal system, (no need to go deep into the weeds since it's the music we're discussing, not theory. Let's just say it was devised in medieval times to rethink the tones and ...

“Each piece of Monologues shows the same balance of assured calm and unobtrusive smarts. It adds up to an album full of pastoral beauty and thoughtful restraint, like a familiar trail always boasting its share of interesting and picturesque turns.” (allaboutjazz.com about "Monologues")
"“ They really exist, those moments of unspeakable beauty, and the guitarist Ronald "Ronny" Wiesauer adds such things to a whole series of pure happiness on his new CD” (jazzpodium.de about "All Yours" )
