Tomás Cotik tackles these pages with a great sense of style, exhibiting a truly expressive performance in slow movements…and a very solid technique in rapid and virtuosic episodes.

Cotik makes Kreisler seem almost smarmy, Isabelle Faust almost mannered, and Julia Fischer as though she´s filed down the detail

…nothing challenges Cotik, who uses a Baroque bow to lovely effect…The booklet essay says that “every note of these often complex pieces lies perfectly, if not easily, [my italics] under the bow.” Well, yes – if you’re as superb a player as Tomás Cotik.

without a doubt, an album to get excited and listen to continuously. Pure excellence. Essential!

should leave listeners almost breathless…a vibrancy and attention to detail…strong individuality and vitality

Warmly and sensitively played with beauty of tone, Cotik… captures the essence of Mozart in finely spun tone and sensitive contrasts in dynamics, rhythmic integrity, and clear phrasing. Their deeply felt rendition of this purest of music, from the carefree early sonatas to the more dramatic later opuses, is a model of transparency and genuine emotion.

one comes away from the recording dazzled by Cotik´s musicianship and technique; one is also struck by the agility of his execution, his expert command of tempo and intonation, and his ability to consistently maintain the highest level of performance

Cotik scales Bach’s solo mountain with skill. His intricate yet soulful take is assured without ever being showy.

His latest album…may be his finest achievement yet, at least rivalling his 2019 account for that label of Bach’s Complete Sonatas and Partitas. Cotik’s Telemann is impressive on all fronts as a technical achievement that will spur the interest of other performing artists and for a sensual beauty that should appeal strongly to listeners everywhere. Cotik performs all this music, and more, with such style and flair that he almost makes a daunting task seen easy.
