“…a
poet, time and again revealing unexpected depths in
works that have been endlessly plumbed and surveyed.”
–The
New York Times
“Pressler's
ability to give all the voices prominence while simultaneously
isolating the melody was amazing. His fingers
still retain a youthful facility.”
–The
Washington Post
“His
playing of the Brahms Trio No. 2 in C Major had a kind
of magisterial rightness to it that could only come
from a lifetime of immersion in this multidimensional
work with its irresistible extremes of mood.”
–The
New York Observer
