"Mr. Denk, clearly, is a pianist you want to hear no matter what he performs, in whatever combination both for his penetrating intellectual engagement with the music and for the generosity of his playing." The New York Times

"It took all of one phrase to realize we were in for a performance of uncommon musical substance. it's clear he has thought more deeply than many of his peers about an essential koan of interpretation: how to wed genuine devotion to a composer's vision with playing of interior participation and personal freedom." Boston Globe
