„Einmalig sind Uwe L. Ferchofs Kompositionen. Voll von unglaublicher Gefühlsnähe und durchdachter Harmonik. Keine Schublade will passen. Pianistische Gitarrenmusik.

^{Emotionale Auseinandersetzung, seine stilistische Vielseitigkeit und perfektionierte Liebe zum Detail fordern die Grenzen des Instrumentes heraus. Und überschreiten sie.}

^{Ferchof spielt mit virtuosen, frischem und witzigen Stil und mit atemberaubender technischer Perfektion.}

^{Wer seine Konzerte erlebt hat, ist beeindruckt von seiner unglaublichen Fingerfertigkeit. Selbst schwierigste Passagen scheinen kinderleicht über die Gitarre zu gleiten.}

Mit dieser technischen Perfektion kann er mühelos seine Interpretationen emotional und witzig variieren. Sehr erfrischend.“

Dshokow (geboren 1958 in Bulgarien) lebt seit 1984 in Deutschland. Seine Ausbildung zum Geigen- sowie Gitarrenbaumeister absolvierte er in Plovdiv. Die Liebe zur Musik ließ ihn im Anschluss noch eine Ausbildung als Gitarrenlehrer machen. Mit Öffnung der Grenzen erfüllte er sich in Leipzig den schon lang gehegten Wunsch, ein eigenes Fachgeschäft für Streich- und Zupfinstrumente zu eröffnen. Daraus entwickelte sich zunächst seit 1990 eine umfangreiche Reparaturwerkstatt mit einem An- und Verkauf von Musikinstrumenten jeglicher Art in der Plaußiger Straße in Leipzig und 2003 eine Verkaufs-Filiale in der Georg-Schumann-Straße. Beide Geschäfte gleichen mit ihren vielfältigen Instrumenten sowie seltenen Streich- und Zupfinstrumenten einem ständig mit neuen Klängen belebten Museum. Außergewöhnliche Raritäten, von Harfen, Mandolinen über Geigen bis zum Kontrabass, stehen im Angebot des leidenschaftlichen Sammlers und Kenners. Neben dem Verkauf, den Reparatur- und Restaurierungsarbeiten widmet sich Herr Dshokow mit großer Leidenschaft auch dem Neubau von Gei- gen, Bratschen sowie Cellis. Er fertigt seine Instrumente nach Modellen von Ferrara sowie Bologna in kleinerer Anzahl und mit persönlichem Charakter. Beratung, Regulierung, tonliche Optimierung der Instrumente werden von dem Geigen- und Gitarrenbaumeister mit Fachkompetenz und großer Gewissenhaftigkeit durchgeführt. Lubomir Dshokow nimmt sich für jeden Interessierten Zeit. Seinen Kundenkreis findet er sowohl bei Schul- und Hobbymusikern als auch bei Profimusikern großer Orchester in Sachsen-Anhalt, Berlin und über die Landesgrenzen hinweg. Seit 1992 präsentiert Herr Dshokow seine Instrumente auf vielen internationalen Musikmessen in Deutschland, Italien, Frankreich, China, Japan und den USA.
