Daniel Ender, "Der Standard"March, 6, 2011Die Wiener Symphoniker mit Dirigent Adam FischerWien - Johannes Brahms, Franz Liszt und Zoltán Kodály: Vieles trennt diese drei, die jetzt von den Wiener Symphonikern in ihrem Musikverein-Zyklus gemeinsam vor den Wagen gespannt wurden. Und dennoch gibt es - trotz aller Stilunterschiede - auch frappierende Gemeinsamkeiten, etwa die Suche nach neuen formalen Lösungen oder der Versuch, Folkloristisches in ihre musikalische Sprache zu integrieren. ...

“…Following the Suite from the Amore, written in America in 1919 in the style of the avantgarde Russian theatre, here we have Prokofiev 3rd Piano Concerto with Denis Matsuev as soloist. He has got the clockwork technical precision and the percussive strength of the great virtuoso, and moreover the delicacy and sense of humor, at times surreal, as suggested by the composer in the delightful central movement. ...
John von Rhein, "Chicago Tribune"July, 12, 2008Thursday's concert brought more soloistic excitement even as the storm gods drenched the park and its brave patrons. Denis Matsuev, the greatly gifted young Russian pianist who was making his Ravinia debut, had lightning bolts of his own to hurl in Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto.

November 19, 2007 Steve Smith, "New York Times" The atmosphere was electric before a recital by the pianist Denis Matsuev at Carnegie Hall on Saturday night, and the accent of the throng was mostly Russian. Mr. Matsuev, 32, won the prestigious International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow in 1998. He has since been heralded by some critics as the successor to Russian keyboard lions like Evgeny Kissin and Arcadi Volodos, and perhaps to Vladimir Horowitz as well. In concert and on disc Mr. Matsuev has mostly specialized in finger-busting virtuoso pieces. ...
Denis Matsuev's Saturday afternoon recital at the Kennedy Center Terrace Theater, part of the Washington Performing Arts Society's Hayes Piano Series, proved an exhilarating affair. ...
