Cotik has a consistently brilliant violinism and warm, enveloping sound

Tomás Cotik’s deeply analytical playing adds to an exhilarating display of the musical wonders the composer saw in the violin
GRAMOPHONE MAGAZINE
“
His sound is treated like a true craftsman, with just the right vibrato, intensity and dynamics controlled to the millimeter, transparency of layers, and a unique color for each string. It’s a commendable effort towards a new musical identity.

Tomás Cotik delivers an excellent performance
GBOPERA
“
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.

I highly commend Mr. Cotik for his innovative interpretations and I hope many future audiences will experience his musical excellence

Comparisons are inevitable; on my shelves are the Grumiaux- Haskil team, the Stern-Barenboim combination, Szymon Goldberg and Radu Lupu, and Zukerman and Neikrug readings. The Cotik-Lin duo can take its place among those earlier esteemed ensembles with heads held high.

These are exactly what you would expect from Cotik–tasteful and well played.
