CONCERT REVIEWS

“He is not simply a great pianist: He is one of the few that I would want to hear playing the standard repertoire war-horses. …Rodriguez has lots of ideas about how the pieces should go and delivers them with bracing, brilliant technique and refreshing brisk tempos. …Rodriguez was born to play Rachmaninoff, but not because he confirms your ideas on how the ever-popular Russian romantic should sound. He has the technical ability and coloristic sense to make big musical statements, but always uses them to clarify the content rather than to create an effect for its own sake.”…
