‘... evangelical enthusiasm ... assiduous clarity ... lyrical poise ... a brilliant recital.’
Neil Fisher / The Times
‘... musical intelligence and pristine facility interlock seamlessly ... compendious capacity for touch control ... extremely refined, well considered and emotionally selfless ... a pianist with something to say.’
Mark Tanner / International Record Review
‘… contemporary piano music has some fine young interpreters right now; Richard Uttley’s is a name to add to the distinguished litany.’
Paul Riley / BBC Music Magazine
‘... a fascinating disc with which I cannot find fault, and it represents an impressive and auspicious debut for Richard Uttley. I hope it receives the widespread critical acclaim that it clearly deserves.’
Nicholas Salwey / International Record Review
‘Richard Uttley has a huge empathy with the music he plays, his musical standards are of the highest order and his understanding of a piece brings it off the page with great maturity. A concert which displayed many facets of this young man's extraordinary talent.’
Leicester Mercury / Embrace Arts 'Introducing...' Series 2011
‘Uttley ... proved a genial, relaxed performer with a dry sense of humour ... Beethoven’s much-loved Moonlight Sonata … played with extraordinary energy, control and elegance ... Simpson's Barkham Fantasy ... beautifully played, with great sensitivity ... The concert proved to be another Corsham Festival treat ... bringing new, challenging works alongside enduring masterworks.’
Wiltshire Times / Corsham Festival 2011
