"Playing on a sweet-sounding Auguste Sébastien Philippe Bernardel père cello made in 1849, Crozman contributes elegant phrasing, deft virtuosity, magical ways with appoggiaturas and trills, and wonderfully imaginative cadenzas that feel authentically reflective, spontaneous and, most important, thrilling. His voice pulses with emotion in the slow movements."
"The Haydn Concertos on this CD are wonderfully performed and recorded and need to be heard. [...] [Crozman's] playing shows he is a technical master of the instrument while spotlighting his huge dynamic range and deeply thoughtful and expressive playing. Finally, a Canadian recording of the Haydn Concertos that can be held up with the finest recordings of these two masterworks!"
“Colors and the finest nuances as well as the ever-present lyricism make for a captivating performance. And even if the finale with its virtuoso lightness is quite wonderful, the highlight is the Adagio, which is absolutely delightful in its naturalness of feeling.”
★★★★★
"With this impressive and highly enjoyable release Crozman continues to establish himself as simply one of the finest young cellists around."
"In Crozman's hands, the cello sings, laughs, and weeps. The precise accuracy of his technique on the instrument is transformed, through his expressiveness, into a distinctly human and moving sound."
