David's Review Corner (February 2021 - David Denton)

I have been very grateful to the French pianist, Nicolas Horvath, who over the past decade has brought to our attention so much seldom played solo piano works.

Long after our ageing lives have expired on this planet, this may well be how future generations hear music. 

PAN M 360 (January 2021 - Réjean Beaucage) 

This interpretation by Nicolas Horvath will remain as one of the best excerpts from Lucier's catalog of piano works.

NDR Kultur (May 2021 - Helmut Peters)  

Exciting sound experiment

Resmusica (27 décembre 2021 –Guillaume Kosmicki ) Nicolas Horvath en équilibre sur le fil du monde

It takes extreme concentration to put yourself at the service of such a score. It is also necessary to acquire another form of virtuosity: the virtuosity of timbre. Obviously, these are qualities that Nicolas Horvath has to accompany us far, very far in this immersion.

The Whole Note (May 5 2021 -Adam Sherkin)

While the resulting soundworld is undeniably retro, such creations can reward the assiduous listener. Imagine that we’re listening amongst the cosmos, unbounded and flung loose into the stars.

Musicalifeiten (February 2021 - Jan de Kruijff)

Nicolas Horvath creates an unprecedented sound world

WDR3 (February 24, 2021 - 3 von Jetzt)

an exciting sound experiment that you have to get involved with calmly.

PAN M360 : Top 100 de 2021

Classica (Février 2022 –Romaric Gergorin) RATING : ★★★★

Nicolas Horvath succeeds here with a sense of panache specific to all his recordings.

Therehearsalstudio.blogspot.com (January 16 2020 -Stephen Smoliar) 

As listening experiences go, the result is as imaginative as the concept is simple.

Sequenza21/ (March 2020 - Paul Muller ) 

This performance by Nicolas Horvath is disciplined and precise, providing just the right touch for the piano notes under each acoustic condition. Music for Piano with Slow Sweep Pure Wave Oscillator XL will surely add to Horvath’s reputation as a leading interpreter of the most unusual experimental forms in contemporary music.

Piano News (Mai 2021 –Carsten Dürer)

This is only for purists of new music.

Fanfare (2021 – Raymond Turtle) 

If you are an adventurous listener, this is strongly recommended.

Inacuelles (8 Avril 2021 – Dionys) Ulysse chez les Sirènes

Rarely have we explored the piano to such depth, revealing in it vibrant, dizzying, moving, strange clones of a troubled beauty.

An absolute of contemporary music!

Bertrand Ferrier Blog (2 Avril 2021 – Bertrand Ferrier) 

The oscillations until silence is therefore not too much to get us out of the suspenseful trance and bring us back to real life. We return to it with the renewed conviction that the false life, like the false note, is often more interesting than the real one, especially when it is carried by discoveries of this ilk!
