Revue de Presse


International Classical Music Awards : 2016 Nominee 

Midwest Tape, February 2016
This Nicolas Horvath program reverses time, revealing the metamorphosis in Glass’s work from his 1980s film and theatre transcriptions, through The Olympian composed for the Los Angeles Olympiad, to rarities such as the dream-like Coda

L'Education Musicale (Patrice Imbaud - Mars 2016) "A découvrir absolument !" 
A great album

American Record Guide (Rob Haskins- May 2016)
Performances are fine and demonstrate as always Horvath’s intense, almost romantic expressive choices for the music. Glass’s music benefits from this approach very nicely. 

Lark Review (February 2016)
I found this a very appealing recording

The Naxos Chart - January 2016 : Naxos Top 20 Bestsellers

International Piano : Rating :★★★★
Fascinating

David's Review Corner (David Denton - January 2016)
 the Glass specialist, Nicolas Horvath, is always a potent advocate

Lesveillesmusicales (Bertrand D - 23 février 2016) : PHILIP AVANT PHILIP
Plus: Nicolas Horvath treats it all like repertoire music, with an almost romantic style,
where its first interpreters opted for a more detached and metronomic vision. But time management, this pianist knows what it means: in 2012, he was at the origin of the concert version

Klassiek-centraal (Michel Dutrieue - 17/08/16 ) Rating : ★★★★ Highly recommended
The dazzling pulse patterns make it a milestone recording of minimalism

Musicologie.org ( Alain Lambert - 19 février 2016)
A rich and dense CD, to rediscover the work (for piano) of Philip Glass

Klaus Heymann (Janurary 2016 - KLAUS HEYMANN RECOMMEND!)
Nicolas Horvath will put collectors on high alert.

Inactuelles (Dionys- 8 mars 2016) : 
A transcendent reading of Glass

Keyed In (Alex Baran - April 2016) 
Horvath is a compelling interpreter and presents the repertoire in a deeply engaging and listenable way.

Artistxite (Salvatore Pichireddu - February 2016)
Horvath concludes with an exciting and amazingly varied panopticon, which is sure to arouse curiosity about the coming part.

Arkivmusic.com (April 2016) Recommendation
A deeply engaging and compelling interpreter

Gramola.at
Philip Glass' piano works are in the best of hands with Horvath, because his personality combines technical skill and that certain pinch of pop feeling that is also needed for Glass' minimalistic soundscapes.
