"...Creviston plays with colorful phrasing, exquisite pianissimo, and effortless fingers..." (American Record Guide)
"Throughout the recital, [Christopher Creviston] performs music posing a multitude of challenges, all with the same apparent ease, and with uncommon refinement and imagination as well. Crevistion uses his wide range of tone qualities–from ultra-smooth to slightly tart and reedy–as a foil to his subtle, perceptive phrasing and flawless control of vibrato. He is matched in matters of virtuosity and style by his equally impressive and expressive duo partner, hannah Gruber." (Fanfare)
