“He owns a world of technique – take that for granted. he always knows exactly where he is going and what he is doing. he never for an instant miscalculates. he communicates urgently but with strict control. he is alert to every manner of nuance and at every dynamic level his tone flatters the ear.”

“Norman Krieger, whose recital closed the national gallery’s concert season, is one of the better-kept secrets on the concert circuit. his performance of music by Bach, Prokofiev, Beethoven and Chopin revealed an artist of unusual sensitivity with the technical control to do absolutely anything he wants and the sense to do so poetically.”
