“This is superb playing by a fine young cellist who deserves to be heard worldwide.”
“The whole record breaths fire, accuracy, and musicality.”
Sir Roger Norrington
“The soloist [Dvorak Concerto] was cellist Jeremy Findlay, who demonstrated a remarkable agility, intensity and individuality of tonal color.”
“Findlay’s tone in the faster passages was firm and rich with bounding vigor and precise articulation.”
The Sunday Times of Malta
“Cellist Jeremy Findlay, who often performs with pianist Elena Braslavsky, recently recorded Camille Saint-Saëns’ two cello concertos (along with the composer’s first cello sonata and “The Swan” from his “Carnival of the Animals”). He makes a strong impression through his unpretentiously sonorous playing, with long phrases and a pleasing fragrance that assures Saint-Saëns’ earnest dignity and yet playful temperament.”
Salzburger Nachrichten
“... The evening's main event featured two cello concertos by Camille Saint-Saëns, one written thirty years after the other. Young Canadian cellist Jeremy Findlay worked excellently with the conductor and orchestra, evoking a clear and distinctive tone from his instrument, as well as bravura-charged virtuosity in the better known Concerto in A minor, but also maturity and a feeling for form in the rarely performed, later written D minor Concerto. The soloist reaffirmed his class in the finale of the latter piece.”
Glos Wielkopolski, Poznan
“Cellist Jeremy Findlay gave an outstanding performance of the first and second cello suites by J.S. Bach. His interpretation was very moving and perfectly harmonized with the nature setting of the Jozaiji Temple [Tokyo].”
The Nichiren Newspaper, Japan
“Findlay and Braslavsky played with insight and true relish”
The Globe and Mail, Toronto
“Exuberantly impassioned performances... with plenty of opportunity to display the warmth and buoyancy of Findlay’s musicality.”
Classical Music Magazine, Toronto
“He commands a secure technique, a nicely formed tone and good musical instincts.”
