Philadelphia Orchestra

“Among the pianists laying claim to Liszt as a central figure in their repertoires, Groh's fingers and sense of comprehension set a new modern standard.”

PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

New York Phiharmonic

“Liszt’s first piano concerto and his tone poem Les Préludes may be guilty pleasures of a sort, but both offer sustenance…Mr. Groh, too, was substantial, offering the music’s bravura as well as the sensitivity.”

NEW YORK TIMES

Berlin Symphony

“Groh plays straight, just as God and Brahms instruct him…..[he] now ranks at the top of the German tradition, a worthy heir to Backhaus, Edwin Fischer, Wilhelm Kempff.”

BERLINER MORGENPOST

New York City recital

“…[Markus Groh] gave a superb recital on Sunday afternoon at the Frick Collection.… among the more remarkable qualities of his playing was the degree to which he gave each composer a distinctive voice.”

NEW YORK TIMES

London Symphony Orchestra

“…the approach was fresh, the clarity and musicality of his phrasing impeccable, and his range of keyboard colour quite remarkable.”
