Matthew Schellhorn

His playing is a model of clarity ... a perfect balance of academic rigour allied to musical sensitivity. There is weight and power when the music requires it, but the abiding sense is of precision and poise

immaculately stylish, raptly concentrated and memorably tender advocacy

Not a nuance was left unexpressed, not a silence given less than its due importance, not an emotional pivot-point neglected.

His keyboard performances fascinate and enliven the ear and mind.

superbly performed ... copiously rewarding

Schellhorn possesses a seemingly perfect and complete piano technique ... his readings, always vivid and dramatic, were deeply satisfying.

Schellhorn was in his element, letting the pedalled chords float and calibrating the interplay between darkness and light with fastidious care.

Schellhorn’s combination of clarity, sense of line and brilliant technique ... a sequence of deeply felt performances.
