"Thomas Otten...has plenty going for him: strong fingers, an impressively big tone, and an often infectious sense of rubato..."
Fanfare - November/December 2006
"The Rigoletto Paraphrase shows the pianist at his best...all is smooth and clean, and tossed off with...security".
American Record Guide - July/August 2006
"Thomas Otten is a scholar-pianist...who wields a palette of power and color... Otten maintains a transparent, clarion texture throughout...the Petrarch could compete with the likes of Arrau and Bolet in Liszt interpretation. The “little bell” of Paganini, with its clever and delicate use of repeated notes, finds as much charm as bravura with Otten."
