Critical Review
“From the first note of his Brahms Sonata I was hooked, and within a few bars I was moved to tears. I don’t have this response very often…”
“and although it is possible to analyse it…, perhaps it is better not to try.”
“Music is at his best when it’s below the belt like this… such an experience is so rare...”
“spun a truly poetic and sincere Poeme”
Strad magazine editor June 2010 (Menuhin Competion Oslo 2010)
“Stephen Waarts… struck me as the most engaging (and curious) figure in the whole competition....From the first bars… it was blindingly clear that this small boy… was something special:…a soul”...
UK Telegraph (Menuhin Competition Oslo 2010)
“heartfelt, vulnerable…I stopped noticing his playing…what soul!”
Maestro Donald Runnicles and his fellow judges (KDFC Star Search 2009)
