Fragments from the selected reviews:

 

Anna Woźniakowska; Cała muzyka na jednej stronie; "Piękno waltorni"
... Jacek Muzyk okazał się wybornym interpretatorem Koncertu na róg. Nie przypuszczałam że waltornia dysponuje taką paletą barw. Również mistrzowski okazał się Marek Pijarowski czuwający nad orkiestrą partnerującą soliście. Było to rzeczywiście partnerstwo, instrument solowy i orkiestra bardzo dobrze ze sobą wspólpracowali, stanowili jedno. Ta interpretacja, nagrodzona gorącą owacją, była prawdziwą kreacją artystyczną, pięknym prezentem złożonym przez muzyków kompozytorowi na jego 80. urodziny. A jeśli ktoś po wysłuchaniu Koncertu na róg Pendereckiego miał jeszcze jakiekolwiek wątpliwości czy Jacek Muzyk to wysoka pozycja w rankingu światowych waltornistów, to wyzbył się ich po wysłuchaniu bisu. Solowy fragment z Des canyons aux étoiles Messiaena w jego wykonaniu po prostu pozostawił słuchaczy w zadziwieniu. Takich zróżnicowań dynamicznych i barwowych na waltorni nie słyszliśmy dotąd na krakowskiej estradzie. (link to the whole review)

(about Mozart 4 KV. 495)
... His playing was overwhelmingly calm and even-toned. The slow movement's long, horizontal lines were softly sculpted and delicately nuanced, like an aria. The young man with the horn deserves special credit for making the last movement sound so fresh and new ... Muzyk approached the piece with remarkable spontaneity - and wit, too, with coy dynamics and a fine sense of timing...

The Buffalo News, Saturday, January 29, 2005
... The slow movement was presented as contemplative, as though digesting the earlier material, untill interrupted by a sharply attacked and insistent rhythmic motif.It is dominated, however, by a motif in solo horn which recent scholarship has revealed to be code for the name Elmira, with whom Shostakovich was in love.It was superbly played by principal horn, Jacek Muzyk ...
