‘… evangelical enthusiasm … assiduous clarity … lyrical poise … a brilliant recital.’
Neil Fisher : The Times
‘…excellently devised and executed…’
Paul Driver : The Sunday Times
‘I wouldn’t use this term of many pianists but, both from a purely aural perspective as well as watching him perform, Uttley comes across like a ballet dancer. His movements are graceful, lyrical, acrobatic; keys are sprung from, landed upon, tickled, urged, encouraged, coaxed—but rarely, it seems to me, merely struck.’
Simon Cummings : 5:4
‘… 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
‘breathtaking sensitivity’
Paul Kilbey : Bachtrack

Paul Riley : BBC Music Magazine
‘intense and sensitive performance … a gifted and thoughtful Mozartean’

‘Richard Uttley’s performance was as assured as the piano writing itself.’
Mark Berry : Seen and Heard International : Oliver Knussen Total Immersion Day
‘… 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
