« Hats off, gentlemen - a genius! » So Schumann memorably wrote after first hearing the music of Chopin. Every music lover knows this exhilarating feeling of discovery that comes along when hearing something or someone that is new, compelling, challenging, irresistible, and unique... Last fall, in London, I bought a CD by a German pianist named Cornelius Claudio Kreusch, « Live at Steinway Hall / New York ». I didn't even realize it was a jazz record. If I had been wearing a hat a few weeks later when I pushed the CD into my car stereo, I would have doffed it in tribute. The lean man pictured in a Hamlet pose on the album plays the piano like an angel and a demon, and before long I had to pull off the road so that I could concentrate on the music he can imagine in his head and draw out of the instrument. His coruscating improvisations draw on many sources, but they don't sound like anyone else, and they are endlessly fascinating to hear (...) » BOSTON SUNDAY GLOBE, Arts & Entertainment, by RICHARD DYER. « When one thinks about Cornelius and his music, one realizes, that he cannot be pigeon hold into any one musical style or genre. That he is versatile goes without saying. He combines elements of many musical styles to create the very unique sound that is his. And you will find it captivating. The Steinway piano is nothing until an artist comes along, that breathes life into its instruments. And I have it on very good authority, that Steinway Pianos are never happier, than when they are under the hands of Cornelius Claudio Kreusch. His music like his spirit is uplifting and it will bring a smile to your face just as it will bring a smile to the face of the piano that is here with us this evening. Please join me and give a very warm welcome to our friend Cornelius Claudio Kreusch. » PETER GOODRICH, Former Director (North America), Concerts & Artists, STEINWAY & SONS http://itunes.apple.com/de/album/live-at-steinway-hall-new/id263890283http://itunes.apple.com/de/album/live-at-steinway-hall-new/id263890283https://itunes.apple.com/de/album/heart-soul/id521717108shapeimage_3_link_0shapeimage_3_link_1
«Dieser rasende Musik-Alchimist, dieser besessene Schnell-Denker, dieser eruptive Tonfabrikant raubt einem die Sinne und den halben Verstand: da kannst du nur den Hut ziehen und kapitulieren. Kreusch reißt alle Klaviertitanen des Jahrhunderts, ob sie Tatum oder Solal, Horowitz, Gould, Kühn, Hancock oder Jarrett heißen, in den Gedanken-Strudel seiner aberwitzigen Virtuosität und unternimmt mit einigen alten Standarts im Hinterkopf eine tollkühne Tasten-Ralley der ständigen Metamorphosen, in die gewaltige Kettenreaktion seiner sprühenden, unglaublich kreativen Phantasie. (...) Kreusch entführt uns tatsächlich auf eine Traumreise der ‘vollen Herzen und fliegenden Gedanken', er ist ein Musikderwisch auf seinem fliegenden Teppich, der uns empfänglich macht für die unglaublichen Energien, die das Leben in jedem Augenblick für uns bereithält.» By ATTILA CSAMPAI in Bayerischer Rundfunk, TonArt, HiFi & Records, Music Manualhttps://itunes.apple.com/de/album/heart-soul/id521717108

"Die an die großen Romantiker gemahnende Melodiosität, der zurückhaltende Gestus, der leise Atem, der durch die Stücke weht, und die gefühlststarke Kraft des Tons stehen ebenso für ein wirklich großes Pianoalbum wie die fein sich entfaltenden Schattierungen, Stimmungen, Emotionen und Improvisationen. Sprudelnde Phantasie und innige Wärme gehen Hand in Hand, ergänzen sich mal heiter verspielt, mal dramatisch vertieft zu lebensnahen Klanggemälden von wunderbar farbiger Intensität. Ein Geniestreich.." Jazzpodiumhttp://itunes.apple.com/de/album/heart-soul/id521717108
