"From Pianist Benjamin Moser, Single-Handed Finesse.(...) After hearing his program, it would be hard to imagine Moser making an ugly sound. We would expect beautiful playing in the "October" and "January" movements from Tchaikovsky´s "The Seasons"- turned out here with a wistfulness and singing tone that brought Schumann to mind - and in Skrjabin´s Two Pieces for the Left Hand Op.9, which many pianists could not have made sound so rich and full as Moser´s performance if they had used both hands. But with certain pianists, Skrjabin´s B Minor Fantasy, Op.28, the "Scarbo" from Ravel´s "Gaspard de la Nuit" or the finale of Prokofiev´s seventh sonata can be made to hector. Not here. In each piece, Moser´s masterly pedaling, powerful but controlled left hand and scrupulous layering of dynamics ensured a clarity and solidity to the sound that never lost tonal luster, even at triple forte. And, more crucially, every piece spoke from the heart."

"His technique and musicality were shown to fine effect in Skrjabin´s Chopinesque "Two Pieces for the left hand" (...), in Mr. Moser´s eloquent performance it seemes as if two hands were playing. Both of them flew across the keys in his passionate, colourful rendition of the composer´s tumultuous Fantasy in B minor Op.28. (...) The program also included Elis:Three Night Pieces by Heinz Holliger (...). Mr.Moser gracefully played the three short abstract movements. For encores, Mr.Moser, who was certainly an audience favourite on Tuesday, offered a fiery, virtuosic rendition - notable for its chrystalline articulation and driving momentum - of the third movement from Prokofiev´s Piano Sonata No.7 and a whimsical interpretation of the first movement of Schumann´s "Kinderszenen".

"Benjamin Moser convinced the audience with his honest and heartfelt interpretation of Russian music. Especially the Rachmaninov Preludes and the F-major variations by Tchaikovsky will remain in our memory. Not without reason, the special prize for the best interpretation of Tchaikovsky´s works was given exactly to Moser (...). With it´s lyricism and honesty, his playing attracts in the best sense of the word, he has a beautiful, soft sound. He makes no unnecessary show on stage (as if he´s not competing on stage, it seems, as if he would play in a circle of friends for his own joy) and his walk and high growth involuntarily cause associations with the young Cliburn."
