Reviews
| LONDON CONCERT REVIEWS |
| “..Mr. Larsen was at his most beguiling, alike in tonal charm and tenderness of phrasing; the little known “Dante’s Sonnett” and “Sancta Dorothea” were particularly welcome inclusions.” The London Times
|
|
“…he handled them with delicacy, taste and smooth continuity f line broken only occasionally for dramatic effect. Larsen’s romantic sensibilities were evident throughout.” The Guardian |
| “…torrents of notes, lush harmonies and gorgeous melodies.”
The Independent |
| “…fluency and panache”
The London Daily Telegraph |
| “…Liszt “Funerailles” reach an almost sublime conclusion after riding a suppressed storm. “Dante’s Sonnet” and “Au bord d’une Source” suggested a peace and contentment rarely apparent in performances.”
Croydon Advertiser |
| “…A convincing performance that made light of the very real technical hazards. His understanding of the musical texture and commanding presentation were most impressive.”
Bath and West Evening Chronicle |
| “… a formidable technique with which to back his fancies.”
London Evening Standard |
| “I was so impressed by Mr. Carter Larsen’s performance that I sought him out at the end of the concert in order to congratulate him on one of the most impressive recitals I had ever heard in over 40 years of concert-going.”
Vincent Bradley OBE, BBC |
| “You are essentially a lyric musician with a big tone and power when it is needed. Your phrasing is excellent and so is your technique. And you definitely have a personal way of pointing up a melody.”
