"Anweiler's Chopin, in its elegant shading of tones to its brilliant cascades of sound, was performed with an elegance so intense that one almost thought he was making it up as he went along ..."

New Britain Herald

"Andrzej Anweiler played with absolute mastery of the keyboard, incredible octaves, and with a power that obtained the utmost sonority from his instrument. He gave us Chopin which was full of romantic poetry ... playing with brilliant clarity and elegance. It was a beautiful night of music recreating that world where only the chosen ones live."

Espectaculos, Miami

"American pianist, Andrzej Anweiler, completely held our attention - his playing is full of life, the tone is strong and full of nuance; everything is perfectly controlled. A passionate and lucid execution full of majesty."

L'Atelier, Brussels

"Impressive ... nimble passagework and crushing double octaves."

New York Times

"Andrzej Anweiler aroused a furor of enthusiasm ... Technical difficulties (were) handled with remarkable fluidity and ease. He is a pianist with tremendous talent."

The Hartford Courant

"Most of the evening's excitement came from pianist Andrzej Anweiler, a fine performer with plenty of power, resounding big tone when needed and a sensitive touch capable of real delicacy ... Liszt's Concerto in A-major (was) charged with heraldry - lacy cadenzas, didactic left-hand statements, fiery double octaves. The performance drew insistent applause."

New London Day

"An impressive recital ... Andrzej Anweiler's excellence lies in his technical ingenuity which never becomes overwhelming, but which always allows the music to speak for itself."

Het Vadarland, The Hague
