Benjamin Beilman - Press Reviews

Album: Spectrum 

Benjamin Beilman immediately draws us into the elusive sound world of Schubert’s D574 Sonata via his acute sensitivity to phrasing and dynamics… [He] leaves no emotional stone unturned, enhanced by tactile engineering of radiant allure… Beilman also brings the Janacek Sonata’s nerve-jangling changeability scorchingly to life, soaring aloft with ear-ringingly pure intonation in the Ballada, then lacerating our senistivities with hectoring explosions of sound…  His edge-of-the-seat, Kremer-on-fire take on Kreisler’s Viennese Rhapsodic Fantasietta sets the seal on a dazzling recital.

Julian Haylock, The Strad, May 2016

In the opening phrases of the Schubert, Benjamin Beilman is unashamedly Romantic with vibrato used throughout, discreet portamentos and a seamless legato… There’s no doubting the technical accomplishment of both players and the scherzo is a tour de force.
