“First-class ... His playing is clean, unmannered and full of ideas and intelligence.”
THE NEW YORK TIMES

“Moyer breezed through this splendidly varied and arduously demanding recital with technical and stylistic colors flying.”
LOS ANGELES TIMES

“His interpretations were as instinctively true as they were intelligent, and his technique was capable of all demands placed on it.”
WASHINGTON POST

“The Ravel sounded especially ravishing. The Reger and Liszt could scarcely be more brilliantly played.”
NEW YORK MAGAZINE

“Moyer was such a delightful soloist this concerto seemed written for him. His playing was fresh and bubbly throughout. The Beethoven fitted him as glove to hand with exhilarating effect. A born pianist.”
PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN

“A success on the highest level from first to last ... something to write home about.” BOSTON GLOBE

“A superstar pianist ... He produced a big, warm sound, was unfailingly accurate, and seemed to have no limit to his speed. But it was not so much technique that impressed as his musicality.” THE MILWAUKEE JOURNAL

“Guest pianist Frederick Moyer excelled in the Rachmaninoff Third Piano Concerto and dazzled -- almost stunned -- the audience with his solo encore, a Busoni version of Liszt's ‘La Campanella.’ .. Moyer's performance, one by a talented, well-prepared, committed and inspired artist, reminded us of the wonder of being human.” FORT COLLINS COLORADOAN

“... one of the finest concerts in recent memory.” SARASOTA HERALD-TRIBUNE

“Moyer captivated a large audience with a throughtful program played with virtuosity and musicality, an unusual combination.” PORTLAND PRESS HERALD

“After carefully watching Moyer's fingers fly over the keyboard without pause or error, and after absorbing the magic of this wonderful music (Rachmaninoff Second Piano Concerto), audience members were left in awe of the musical genius who conceived and wrote the music as well as the incredible gift of talent that allowed Moyer to perform the piece to perfection.” LONGVIEW (TX) NEWS JOURNAL

“Moyer's artistry is characterized by extraordinary clarity and precision. His production of immense power, brilliant mechanical agility, profound emotional insight and dazzling trills were clearly presented with adroit pedaling and musical understanding.” SUNDAY NEWS (Lancaster, PA)

“A powerfully rewarding solo recital .. brought the audience to its feet.” SACRAMENTO BEE

GLOBAL REVIEWS

Iraklion, Greece
“It is easy to call him a ‘phenomenon,’ -- a ‘naturally talented genius.’ Behind all the incredible musical maturity of Frederick Moyer, there is a colossal will power and self-control that has guided him with confidence to his high goal.”

Verona, Italy
“The shy, boyish face of American pianist Frederick Moyer belies his mature musicality, his pronounced expressive versatility, and his readiness to shape the music with a good deal of elasticity of hand and mind. He inaugurated the present season and left the audience in Villafranca pleasantly impressed with his gifts.”
L'ARENA

Tallinn, Estonia
“Frederick Moyer from the USA impressed us as a very fine, mature musician and pianist. From the first note of the seldom heard Sonata in F by Haydn, there was clarity. Moyer's mind works in an exemplary manner, the self-control is perfect, the spectrum of feelings is rich, the fingers nimble, the pedal being used quite sparingly.”
ESTONIAN WEEKLY “REEDE”

Brussels, Belgium
“A profound musicality, reflective, is evident in the presentation of the Paganini/Liszt, and it resounds with health beneath the fingers of this well-trained pianist.”
LA LIBRE BELGIGUE

Port Elizabeth, South Africa
“A resounding success in every way... Guest soloist pianist Frederick Moyer has an unassuming mien, belying his considerable talent. His interpretation of the Rachmaninov Piano Concert was musicianly in every way.”
EVENING POST

Montevideo, Uruguay
“Frederick Moyer was the foreign revelation among pianists this season, performing his debut at the Teatro Alianza in a very well-shaped program. Moyer is an atypical American who has avoided boxing himself into any particular mold. He has personality and pianistic means of great refinement.”
EL PAIS

Managua, Nicaragua
“Moyer, a first class pianist...His achievements as a soloist are fascinating to all audiences. His exceptional talent created an unforgettable experience... There were standing ovations following his encores.”
LA PRENSA

Hong Kong
“Moyer applied an individual, relevant and, above all, intelligent approach... intense, almost introspective, but the triumphant power in his playing was totally compelling... A thoroughly enjoyable, astute concert.”
SOUTH MORNING CHINA POST

Brisbane, Australia
“Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini by Rachmaninov has been described as his finest concert work; pianist Frederick Moyer's dazzling account of it should have settled any doubts on that score, as did the ovation which followed.”
THE COURIER-MAIL

Tokyo, Japan
“Moyer's playing was full of emotion, and he succeeded in expressing his good heart. I was very favorably impressed with the straightforward and honest attitude to music which this young pianist possesses.”
ASAHI SHIMBUN

“A resounding success in every way... Guest soloist pianist Frederick Moyer has an unassuming mien, belying his considerable talent. His interpretation of the Rachmaninov Piano Concerto was musicianly in every way.”

EVENING POST - Port Elizabeth, South Africa
