Piano International (Jan, 2017) ★★★★★

Horvath gives a characteristically assured performance.

Mr Horvath continues this fascinating survey of Glass’s piano music with performances that satisfy me completely

Lexnews (Philippe-Emmanuel Krautter- Édition Semaine n° 36 / Septembre 2017)

Horvath manages to capture [this music] with astonishing acumen

Rating : Interpretation: ★★★★ Klangqualität: ★★★★ Repertoirewert: ★★★★ Booklet: ★★★

Nicolas Horvath's precise and finely interpreted glass interpretations inspire with thoroughly meditative qualities.

Nicolas Horvath seems to have a soft spot for completeness and interpretive and physical challenges. For example, if he 'torments' himself in a 48-hour version with Erik Satie's 'Vexations' or performs all of Frédéric Chopin's 'Nocturnes' in one evening, Philip Glass' pieces often fill the concert program as well. With Horvath you are in the best and firm pianist's hands,

Magasin Opulens (Björn Gustavsson - June 28, 2017 ) 

And what I have perhaps missed most this early summer is Philip Glass Glassworlds (Grand piano, distributed by Naxos), five volumes of Philip Glass piano music, congenially sensitively performed by Nicolas Horvath. Dedicated, Horvath reproduces both the microcosmic, repetitive murmur and the meditatively headstrong, large-scale magic that culminates in new, wide worlds. A must for all Glass lovers!

Pianist Nicolas Horvath’s previous releases in the set have attracted many plaudits

Eminent French pianist, Nicolas HORVATH has just published, with Grand Piano, three memorable albums

Naxos Deutschland Blog (Salvatore - 23 janvier 2017)

Nicolas Horvath's strength is his dreamlike familiarity with the material and his technical and interpretative sovereignty. Despite the sometimes very fast tempi, nothing seems hasty or fleeting here. Every single note is given enough time (and space) to develop freely

La Vos de los Vientos (Mike Shooter – 11 july 2017)

a good starting point to get hold of a very accessible Glass.

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.

The Examnier (Stephen Smoliar– 24 October 2017)

Horvath’s recording seems to be thinking along the same lines as the composer himself

ResMusica (Jean-Luc Clairet- 24 October 2016) : A Emporter

under the fingers of Nicolas Horvath, France returns to Philip Glass the status it has long denied him: the classic that he has become.

Music Web International ( David Barker – November 2016) 

Nicolas Horvath plays this music wonderfully well: warm and expressive or cold and mechanical as required. 

Cescendo Magazine.be (Jean-Baptiste Baronian - 28 November 2016) RATING : Son 9 – Livret 8 – Répertoire 8 – Interprétation 10 

Fans of Philip Glass will no doubt love this record.

Therehearsalstudio.blogspot.com (Stephen Smoliar - October 2016) 

Horvath plays this music with considerable attention to the dynamic level of every note, even within the thickest textures of superimposed arpeggios.
