Ralph Van Raat - Press Reviews

Album: Gavin Bryars Piano Concerto The Solway Canal 

Bryars’s craftsmanship is undeniable, the sources imaginatively chosen and cleverly manipulated, the integrity absolute…Van Raat is a passionate, skilled advocate.

Stephen Pettitt, Sunday Times, March 2011

Album: John Adams Complete Piano Music

…van Raat obtains a near-hypnotic control in the two early pieces, almost mechanical in its reliability, and he bubbles with life in the later two

Martin Anderson, International Piano Magazine, March/April 2007 

Van Raat made Phrygian Gates grippingly sing, breathe naturally, blindingly change colours, fill the space with sonorous sounds and whisper intimately. Breath-taking.

Anthony Fium, Luister, June 2007
