REVIEW: “DELIGHT, ACCOMPLISHMENT AND SENSORY MASTERY”
“Sensitivity and extraordinary tone-coloration… In all three opening works, Mr. Namoradze was almost spiritually sensitive. Not that he eschewed the fireworks when necessary. But his was not a Chopin‑ish decorousness. More a delight in translucent color… A genius for Russian music… Delight, accomplishment and sensory mastery.”

REVIEW: “FEARSOME, SUPREMELY COMMANDING”
“Pianistically, it was playing in a grand manner and one that was, perhaps consciously, modeled on the composer himself or perhaps his greatest interpreter, Vladimir Horowitz, minus the eccentricities of the grand wizard of the piano. In his approach to piano playing, Namoradze possesses that slightly capricious, free manner of playing that ideally suited the vocal melodic lines that faithfully imitate the orchestral instruments. With no apparent effort he was able to create an infinite variety of colors and shades of dynamics, from the most delicate to thunderous, but never banging. And what’s even more important was the singing quality of his sound, which was also refined, subtle, selective in all registers of the piano and dynamic spectrum.”

REVIEW: “DEEP ROMANTICISM”
“Namoradze’s dynamic palette was varied and well-judged without allowing the sonority to become harsh… Namoradze’s leisurely paced reading ran the gamut from soft lightness to bold thrusts, his sense of the score’s deep romanticism strongly imprinted… The lustrous melodies were dressed up in the Russian brand of pianistic lyricism with flourishes and variants discreetly added. With a sensitive touch, Namoradze drew a rounded sound from the Steinway… Namoradze reveled in the entire range of both the piano’s coloration and percussive effects… Namoradze is clearly an impressive young musician with a rock-solid technique.”
