Press Reviews
“The highlight of the evening came … in the form of Hamish Robb … a very special musician … Robb skillfully defined himself from the very outset as the soloist. The Andante had a dream quality, hard to believe from a live performance. He is a thoroughly convincing performer and deserved the thunderous applause which followed.” [Susan Colien-Reid, review of concerto performance, Kapiti Observer]
“What a delight to hear such a talented ‘real’ strong piano soloist in Hamish Robb … He has excellent technical facility and all the power and strength in the percussive moments, along with the lyricism, poetry and subtlety required … He surely has a great future ahead of him.” [Garth Wilshere, review of concerto performance, Capital Times]
“This was a most impressive performance, assured, fleet-fingered and crisply articulated, with a nicely judged contrast between the lyricism of the second movement and the cheerful energy of the first and third.” [Roger Wilson, review of concerto performance, The Evening Post]
“These two men play with such rapport, stamina, clarity and poetry that we are … left simply to roar our gratitude. How else can an audience communicate a transcendent experience?” [Jennifer Shennan, review of duo concert with Jian Liu, Middle C]
