“…Moutouzkine played Brahms’ Op. 117 Intermezzi more beautifully, more movingly than I’ve ever heard them. At once sad, tender and noble, this was playing of heart-stopping intimacy and elegance…” – Dallas Morning News
“…grandly organic, with many personal and pertinent insights, offering a thoughtful balance between rhetoric and fantasy…technically dazzling.” – International Piano Magazine
“Remember his name…[Alexandre Moutouzkine is] poised to join the pantheon of greats…powerful when needed, exquisitely tender in romantic passages…breathtaking arpeggios… sheer poetry… Moutouzkine performed [a] heart-wrenchingly beautiful cadenza with soul, heart, and mastery… Had we, the audience, ever really heard the ‘Rach 3’ before? Or been so intensely moved and involved before? The simple answer is ‘No, we had not.’ Moutouzkine outperformed even the composer himself. Elegant, emotional and virtuosic, his was a performance to be treasured by an artist of true genius. Of the concert, a friend, a life-long music lover, said it was ‘the best she had ever attended.’ That sentiment was echoed by the audience, and by this reviewer.” – Greenwich Citizen
“Few pianists can play the Rachmaninoff third piano concerto because of its demands on technique, concentration and endurance. Moutouzkine transcended these demands with intellectual clarity. He was able to articulate connections within the work that few manage to consider simply because they are busy with the notes themselves…the explosive technical command during the final pages of the work left us in awe…amazingly super-charged, virtuosic…” – Connecticut Post
“…fasten your seatbelt for all future performances.” – The Philadelphia Inquirer
“Two glorious, fleeting hours! Alexandre Moutouzkine took command of the stage…and presented a program of refined and unsurpassed quality…Moutouzkine possesses an enormously large and natural technique, he uses it wisely and solely for the purpose of making great music.” – The Newberry Observer
