Reviews

“ein höchst virtuoses, aber nie auf vordergründige Brillanz angelegtes Spiel… Mit großartigen, spannungsreichen Melodiebögen bringt Fukuma den Flügel zum Singen.”
Luxemburg Pizzicato

“Kotaro Fukuma ist allerdings über jeden Kitschverdacht erhaben – er spielt Rachmaninows Musik mit gläserner Klarheit, kühlem Kopf und kontrollierter Technik.”
Luxemburg Radio Bremen
