"Dimchev inspires a rare form of trust by cultivating an intimate community with the audience." *The New York Times*
"Dimchev is a first-rate lyricist, profound even when plain... As a performer, he slides effortlessly between masculine and feminine modes; his vocal range is equally protean, moving from a low baritone to a soprano embellished with theremin-like vibratos." -*The New Yorker*
"Dimchev's voice is one that is always shedding its chrysalis to metamorphose, from low and nasal to high and flutey and everywhere in between. It could be as fine as a brushstroke, then as wide as a cathedral. All at once he scatted and ululated and yodeled, punctuated with grunts. His microphone seemed to drip with butter. " *San Francisco Chronicle* "
Dimchev not only confirms his exceptional talent and ability to push the boundaries of traditional art, but also invites the audience to reflect on profound themes in a context of experimentation and innovation." *Interludes* "Animalistic one moment, delicate the next, he meshes darkness and lightness with verbal and physical dexterity." - *The New York Times*
"His beautiful singing sounds like a voice on an old record: poignantly far away." - *Financial Times*
