GARRICK OHLSSON, PIANO
ALL BRAHMS

“…an incredible technique with razor-sharp accuracy, producing a sound so lush it almost glistens.”
— The Seattle Times


“The unfailingly beautiful tonal variety the pianist found in the score was very special indeed, and his exploratory approach made it sound at times as if the music were being composed under his fingers.”
— The Washington Post


“As he has long demonstrated, he’s a born Brahmsian, equipped at the highest level with the necessary speed and power, the muscular strength and facility of finger tempered by breadth of outlook and solidity of intellect.”
— BBC Music Magazine
