The renowned specialist magazine Akustik Gitarre writes about his guitar music: “The result is that the guitar poet presents three-quarters of an hour of masterfully fluid melodies.” The Folker, the leading German newspaper for folk and world music, is enthusiastic about his unique playing: “Guitar solo and – and this is truly rare – in unison. In addition to Irish traditionals, Olaf Sickmann conjures up baroque-sounding melodies on his instrument and quickly makes you forget that polyphonic or chordal playing is as natural as guitarists commonly think." The folk magazine even quotes Goethe's quote "Stay awhile. You are so beautiful," to sum up "Sickmann's fantastic 6-string odyssey." And the Lübecker Nachrichten particularly noted his individual class: "Apart from all influences, the wonderfully flowing solo guitar music has its own signature – that of its composer Olaf Sickmann. A calm, peaceful music that radiates calm and serenity."
