Excerpts from Reviews
“Gregory Oh gives a superhuman interpretation of André Ristic’s keyboard-smashing avalanche of notes”
-Toronto Star, Oct 28, 2008.
“Oh is clearly on his way, through performances, commissioning and programming, to making a lasting contribution to new music in this country.”
-National Post, February 28, 2005
“Oh’s mesmerizing performance combined intelligence and soul; imagination and insight. He revealed a visceral sense of tempo, excellent voicing, a wonderful pianistic palette, and a warm honest sound.”
-National Post, December 22, 1998
“Playing at a level above everyone else in the Bartok Third Concerto, the soloist Gregory Oh left the orchestra far behind him. A crystal clear tone and his musical, structure-conscious thinking showed, together with a highly sensitive art of touch, a playing of professional maturity.”
-Graz Neue Zeit (Austria), Saturday, March 15, 1997
“The singular high point remained Gregory Oh, whose Third Piano Concerto by Bartok, radiating through and through with intellectual brightness, was marked by great and small wonders.”
-Graz Kronen Zeitung (Austria), Saturday, March 15, 1997
