“Fitz-Gerald’s playing was masterfully compelling throughout. Every note was in place, yet uncompromising rhythmic definition, unabashed temperament and penetrating reading resulted in a wonderfully prepared and inspired performance.” Los Angeles Times BEETHOVEN SONATAS PRESENTED WITH POLISH AND PASSION “Transparent textures reflected his clarity of thought and immediacy of feeling, supported by comprehensive technical resources.” Los Angeles Times “Larger than life, Fitz-Gerald offered an outsized expressiveness in dynamics, color, touch and phrasing. Ultra sensitive and supple, vitality proved never in short supply.” Los Angeles Times “An exciting event ….. the strong fingered and responsive pianist Kevin Fitz-Gerald made a riveting impression” Strad Magazine “What a treat to hear such a smashing Liszt recital. Kevin Fitz-Gerald shows that he has all of the right instincts when it comes to interpreting the supreme example of the virtuoso pianist/composer.” Atlanta Audio Video Club “Superb technique and ease” Toronto Star “The final work on the concert was Mily Balakirev’s Piano Concerto in E flat Major. Under Fitz-Gerald’s phenomenal fingers, the musical progression wound its way to ethereal phrases and notes before sweeping into melodic frenzies and a multitude of glorious keyboard cadenzas. The thunderous and brilliant finale of the piece drew yet another standing ovation from the audience.” Newport Daily News “In the Rachmaninoff concerto, Fitz-Gerald's virtuosity prevailed. He played with flowing, graceful technique, accurate and exact while expressive and brilliant, matching the orchestra power for power.” San Bernadino Press “A combination of relaxation, power and remarkable fluency.” Victoria Times Colonist “Fitz-Gerald’s fascinating and stylish performance brought gasps of breath from many in the audience. A marvelous pianist!” Belleville Intelligencer “Fitz-Gerald is a master craftman of his art and his piano accompaniment is always enhancing, never overshadowing. His solo performance of Cesar Cui’s “Causerie” with its cascades of rich piano phrasing was an audience pleaser. The relaxed, confident and cheerful demeanor of this favorite festival regular always contributes a great deal to the enjoyment of his playing.” Newport Daily News
