"… he is one of the most brilliant and distinctive pianists before the public today." – The Boston Globe

"Aimard… played with passion, absolute clarity and a rhythmic momentum that gave music the force of gravity… The playing was, first off, mesmerizing. Aimard's lucidity and transparency make the most complex music feel within a listener's grasp…" – Los Angeles Times (Concert review Bach's The Art of Fugue)

"Staggering technique, searching intellect and fantastical imagination" – New York Times
