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

an excellent violinist … who picks up a rigorous, natural and unusual way of understanding and interpreting music

Cotik has a consistently brilliant violinism and warm, enveloping sound
GBOPERA MAGAZINE
“
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.

We encounter here an extraordinary violinist, with an overwhelming technique and a musicality; the results are excellent, with little or nothing to envy the greatest interpretations that could have ever been recorded.
RITMO MAGAZINE

…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.

Cotik sounds consistently brilliant

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.
