BBC MAGAZINE, Niel McKim
“
there is no question but that this is the most exciting rendition of these works I’ve ever hear… this is now my benchmark performance of these works
THE ART MUSIC LOUNGE
“
It is in excellent hands with the violinist Tomás Cotik… because a musician of great size is ‘talking’ here, as witnessed by his earlier recordings, which extend from Telemann, Bach and Schubert to Piazzolla. Thanks to the idiomatic touch, Cotik really makes this music swing, but he also knows how to hit the lyricism in the slow parts. This is ‘entertainment’ on a high level
Opus Klassiek
“
Cotik’s performance is powerful and technically brilliant, the intonation always flawless,… fearless round, and well-balanced

The CD recording is his seventeenth in ten years, yet no sign of fatigue is evident when his passion for the material translates into performances of immense appeal…Cotik invests the material with so much life. Listening to him play is never less than a pleasure, and all twelve pieces are brought vividly and expressively to life.
