DANIEL MARTYN LEWIS

‘…a truly fine musician… it took barely more than one or two acutely-drawn phrases to make it very clear that Mr. Lewis is precisely that sort of an artist… He plays Bach with obvious love and understanding… dexterity and crystalline lucidity… what a pleasure to hear such naturalness; and so little self-aggrandizing affectation! Also such a fine grasp of harmonic tension and linear movement…. [he] kept the spiritual message afloat and, when needed, airborne. ’  
New York Concert Review


‘…he riveted the attention with his ability to project the individual lines with crystalline clarity… beautifully sculpted and delicately shaded… his rapid finger work was to marvel at, as was his solemn concentration in the g minor Adagio… an impressive and engaging program, one to which the audience responded warmly. ’
Classics Today, New York


‘ …his affinity with Bach was obvious… Lewis’s grasp of the contrapuntal complexities was evident. He set out the musical ideas with clarity, tracing lines and colouring voices thoughtfully and deliberately, building a solid architectural structure while articulating intricacies of chromatic harmony and rhythm.’  
The Guardian London


'Very lyrical... he knows how to listen to the atmospheric beauty.' TESA News, Warsaw


‘...attention-gripping from start to finish....’               The Age, Melbourne


‘Lewis is a remarkably poised and accomplished pianist, and here he undertook Brahms's massive First Piano Concerto with a considerable amount of aplomb and a natural assurance that would be the envy of many... His technical control was admirable and throughout the performance he barely put a finger wrong... all credit goes to Lewis for a truly impressive display of his evident talent.’      The Western Mail Cardiff


‘…richly satisfying… balance of powerful control and interpretive sensibilities… a wonderful clarity both of the harmonic sonorities and of the voice leading… a fearless artist.’    Musical Opinion UK  

‘...quite wonderful! ...gorgeous singing quality and emotional connection... the sense of order, the purity, the lack of artifice, yet with plenty of grace, fluidity, style and taste... Daniel played a magnificent performance of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, Book One. ’     Jed Distler, music critic, composer, pianist. New York


‘...such consistently high quality of execution, such refinement of taste, and such strong idiomatic grasp of voicing, ornamentation and Affekt...’     David Fanning, music critic, Manchester


‘...focus, clarity and spell binding presence.’    Ruth Tatlow, Bach Scholar, author


‘...incredible clarity... extraordinary in terms of both its aesthetic appeal and scholarly significance... by carefully blending the ideas and performance techniques of both the harpsichord and modern piano, Lewis artfully speaks Bach’s language with fluidity and conviction... the sound of the modern piano allows him to construct Bach’s powerful musical drama which he manages to unfold magnificently.’  
Yo Tomita, Bach Scholar, author


‘Beautiful, pure, clear, simple and inhabited’    Trudelies Leonhardt, fortepianist
