Gustav Rivinius press reviews
Cincinnati Symphony
“Gustav Rivinius is a cellist with a golden touch…as [he] began to play, the level of his artistry was stunning. He was totally absorbed in music-making – every note had meaning, and every phrase breathed with real beauty.”
CINCINNATI ENQUIRER
Washington, D.C. recital
“…what illuminated each movement was a concentration, a singleness of purpose that directed even the most extravagant gestures back toward the music’s heart.”
WASHINGTON POST
St. Louis Symphony
“…[an] unabashedly lyrical and impeccably virtuosic treatment of Dvorak [Concerto].”
ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
Colorado Symphony
“Here was a performance for classical music lovers to treasure [Shostakovich Concerto No. 1], combining breathtaking technique with tone that suited both sunny cantabiles and brooding dissonances.”
DENVER POST
Pittsburgh recital
“Rivinius is a commanding performer. He plays with a big, centered tone that never goes over the edge.”
