“Not only does he have power and emotion to spare, but he also produces a fine legato line when the music calls for it.”
“Robust but clearly articulated playing of the highest order.”
Lynn René Bayley, The Art Music Lounge
“Offering a broad geographical sweep, it settles on a nearly ideal balance of familiarity and freshness. […] That variety, of course, would be meaningless, even counterproductive, if Kesuma didn’t have the stylistic flexibility to bring it all to life. But he certainly seems, on the evidence here, to have wide-ranging sympathies.”
Peter J. Rabinowitz, Fanfare Magazine
