Gabriel's Message : The Musician

Keyboard Classics
"In this particular hall, pianist Matthew Herskowitz stood out as someone to watch and listen for as he stands at the threshold of a promising career."

La Presse, Montreal
"...the American Matthew Herskowitz convinced the entire hall of his exceptional talent as a pianist and musician."

The Strad
"The release is completed by an exquisite account of the Glazunov Second Piano Concerto by the young American Matthew Herskowitz, by far the best performance on CD."

New York Concert Review
"His pianism is formidably accomplished, with bristling clarity of articulation, a clipped rhythmic energy, commendable architecture and extreme musical directness and intelligence."

Cosmik Debris
"He delivers hard-driving progressive bop, yet excels at soft and sensitive works... improvised lines breathe like brushstrokes on canvas, each note carefully selected and presented."

The Times Union, Albany, NY
"...Herskowitz proved himself a piano poet, getting Chopin's improvisatory vision clear... (he) played Schubert with conviction and a considerable lyric beauty."

The Guardian, Glasgow
"Matthew Herskowitz, in Ravel's Ondine, produced opaque sounds evocative of the now seldom-heard Érard pianos, thrilling in its quiet intensity."

The Gazette, Montreal
"Higher praise was owing Matthew Herskowitz for his noble, finely burnished interpretation of Beethoven's Second Concerto... everything in this performance suggested that the Second is more than the 18th - century entertainment it is sometimes presumed to be."

The Schenectady Gazette
"Herskowitz has the speed, power and sensitivity of a major artist, and his playing was always solid, balanced and controlled."

Classical Net
"...his is a much more energetic, driven, and probing style than that of most jazz pianists. In sum, he is a cultivated talent with an undeniably bright future in both musical worlds."
