"Reichert was a precise soloist, linking notes cleanly, strongly, judiciously, staying within dynamic boundaries but also letting the sound expand appropriately...his sensitivity and introspection in the opening of the Adagio immediately arrested attention...the outer movements were full of life and charm...

"...Reichert played them, with nuances, strength and the unhurried sound of someone who knows how to say just what he means...it also showed that he is considerably more than a contest winner."

"As anticipated, Reichert’s Schubert proved to be a miracle of voicing, expression and intellect. His perfect command of detail approaches the level of genius; no fine point escapes his notice, even as note by note he builds the total magnificent structure...Chopin’s Nocturne in C minor - a thunderstorm on a sultry night - and the same composer’s Etude in B minor - a hurricane of octaves - closed the program with the same incredible attention to tone and detail."

"...Reichert unleashed huge torrents of crisply detailed sound. Not since Lazar Berman’s recitals of the 1970s have I heard Liszt played with such drop-dead virtuosity wedded to such clarity of purpose."

"...Ovations!"

"Aviram Reichert has a communicative charm, youth and talent. He displays his penchant for risk taking, dazzling with evident pleasure in the passages of virtuosity."

"Reichert Commands both an instinctive and intellectual grasp of the late classical style; He opened the Beethoven with a combination of grand nobility and vivid contrast in the first movement, followed by an infectiously energetic reading of the second, but the high point of this program - indeed, of the entire day - came in the prayerlike delivery of the opening theme of the final movement, from which each succeeding variation blossomed with inspired logic. The Schubert proved equally compelling, emerging as a grand dirge followed by heartfelt reconciliation."

"Aviram Reichert proved to be a pianist of startling excellence in the Beethoven Third piano concerto. Making his entrance after the long orchestral exposition that begins the first movement, he took the rising scales with an almost steely forcefulness to articulate the piano’s own views on the themes. This kind of clear-cut definition alternated thereafter with lyric expressiveness that seemed to come poignantly from the heart. The combination was compelling."

"Reichert played the Beethoven Concerto No.3 as if it had just been discovered for the masterpiece it is..."

"...Reichert exposed his picture of Schubert in a kind of retrospective light; he showed a perfectly serene person and composer, at peace with himself. Reichert’s interpretation was of a distinctly dynamic and resolute quality, nipping in the bud any artificial emotion."

"...The same feature that gained him in the USA the reputed prize also impressed the audience in the Kammermusiksaal: brilliance of execution...but at times he could be so mellow, so delicate, making one forget that the Steinway piano in Moers can often sound somewhat harsh."

"The 26 year old medalist in the 1997 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition startled and charmed the audience with swift and flawless fingering, relentless energy and an obvious relish of Prokofiev’s demanding masterwork...Reichert’s passion and technical virtuosity drove the conductor and the orchestra to new heights."

"The evening’s soloist, Aviram Reichert, demonstrated the kind of sensitive musicality one can only hope for in a pianist at the beginning of a solo career. He was a good listener as well as an exceptional player - one who has cultivated a sparkling clean technique and a lustrous tone."

"He began with a technically splendid rendition of Beethoven’s “Appassionata Sonata” that was also musically insightful. The middle movement, with its variations on a lyrical song - like theme, was a particular highlight."

"Aviram Reichert is not only a virtuoso. He is "Jack the Giant Killer" and Arnold Schwarzeneger all rolled into one...Reichert also served us up some sublimely sensitive soft and slow playing. In fact he has a lovely, assorted palette of controlled sonorities that he employed to excellent musical advantage... This was, quite simply, a blockbuster performance, totally uninhibited, yet tightly controlled and ultimately totally expressive."
