"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."
"…intellectual intensity and fresh characterizations that are akin to violinists like Gidon Kremer, Paul Zukofsky, and Joseph Szigeti at their best. Cotik walks a thin line between trenchant and tenuous that beckons your attention at every moment."
"5/5 Stars. Tomas Cotik presents a well thought-out and coherent view of this collection…in which the listener can remain acoustically engaged … never tired of listening, which clearly demonstrates the artist’s knowledgeable and intimate engagement with the material"
"This is an excellent recital. I enjoy the Piazzolla Tango Etudes more as played by Cotik than by anyone else."
"another outstanding solo disc on Bach The Six Suites…Cotik’s customary details and insightful booklet essay adds to a fascinating release."
"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."
"Tomás Cotik delivers an excellent performance"
"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"
"excellent Piazzollean style, which is not frequently found"
"I was immediately impressed by their virtuosity and also their understanding of Piazzolla’s music. I was anxious to see them perform in person"
