Review Camiel Boomsma in de Groene
De muziek is een klooster. Terwijl de openbare mening steeds brutaler echte kennis aan de laars lapt, verdiept een kleine groep uitverkorenen zich achter de schermen in het denken en voelen van begraven grootheden met recht van spreken. Daar zijn de pianisten, die na twee eeuwen, of bijna, Schubert en Chopin niet kunnen loslaten.
5 star review Metamorphoses new CD
“…Metamorphoses flaunts a technique and unquestionable expressiveness. Bravo!…”
5 star review in Melomano Magazine November 2018.
Camiel Boomsma review concert Vlissingen
New review for Camiel’s concert on 18-11-2018 in Vlissingen:
“…If you didn’t have goose bumbs because of the cold, you would have after the incredibly subtle and natural interpretations of pianist Camiel Boomsma. A full hall enjoyed his recital in MuZEEum Vlissingen…”
Metamorphoses review Australia: Stunningly performed!
“…Mozart’s ‘Kegelstatt Trio’ needs no introduction. He was a particular lover of the clarinet, and produced some of the finest works in the repertoire.
CD Camiel Le Disque du Jour
“…C’est aussi à la Sonate en si bémol que s’attaque Camiel Boomsma, dont le disques Liszt avaient montré la sonorité magique, et il attends tous les tourment que Marc-André Hamelin tient à distance.
