Pianist
“His musicality, refined touch, and command of phrasing are evident throughout… Kvitko captivates with the delicacy and charm of his playing… dazzles with devilishly difficult runs… staggers in virtuosity… entrances with languor and untainted beauty… breathtaking piano cadenza…”
“[“Mozart. Post Scriptum”] is an absolute explosion of creativity for Mr. Kvitko. This man is simply incredible. It is Mozart after Mozart”
“[In “Mozart. Post Scriptum”] Kvitko delivers a refreshed, beautifully etched performance that does not substitute erudition for musicality”
“...the pianist astonishes with bold playing... uncommonly clear articulation.... new cadenzas by Kvitko are spectacular, to say the least”
“masterful, intuitive playing… arresting artistry… an iconoclastic sense for rubato rhythm and phrasing, but never in a self-serving way. Kvitko loves the music more than he loves himself”
“luminous touch… warm, round sound… plenty of brilliance... a natural, appealing musicality and sensual understanding of piano tone”
“I have to add [Mr. Kvitko’s] recording of Pictures at an Exhibition to my collection. It belongs among the best ever made”
“... [his Carnegie Hall] performance was met with rousing applause, bravos, and a standing ovation. He gives one hundred percent when he performs, and his energy is inspiring”
Latin Grammy-nominated Producer,
Sound engineer
“The disc was produced and engineered by Sergei Kvitko, noted for both his exceptional pianism and his rich and vibrant work in the recording studio. The piano sound here is state of the art”
“...it’s worth noting the exceptional sound quality of ‘Mozart. Post Scriptum,’ as the clarity with which the piano and orchestra are captured adds significantly to the impression the recording makes”
“Kvitko has built a record company renowned for many fine things. He provides a unique experience for the artists with whom he works: refined musical ears, a rich and vibrant quality of recording production and an integrity of engineering that is increasingly hard to come by these days”
“[Blue Griffin] recordings have been widely praised for their rich and natural sound as result of Kvitko’s perfectionist engineering standards”
“...a consistent stream of exceptionally enjoyable recordings”
“...the recorded sound is terrific, courtesy of Blue Griffin producer, engineer, chief cook and bottle washer Sergei Kvitko, a fine pianist himself and one of the best in the business.”
“polished pianism… glorious Horowitzian three-dimensional perspective”
“not only is Kvitko a world-class pianist, he is also a world-class recording engineer”
“...as engineer he makes magic...”
“recording wizard”
