‹ “Schoeman beautiful tonal sound was an experience and the way in which he completed Brahms’s [Concerto no. 2] long lines of double melodies that lie octaves apart, showed enormous musical insight and pianistic command”

“Dramatic in concept, full in tone, his playing virtuosic … elegantly cheerful playing full of character and contrast and festooned with pearly passagework” ›

  • “One will reminisce about this performance for a long time still, to which Schoeman gave gravitas with integrity and a thorough exploration of the soul of each work”
  • “South African pianist Ben Schoeman gets through the [Liszt] sonata in slightly less time and, aided by a deeply resonant Bösendorfer, gives greater weight to the contrasts between its sections. Although he takes the fugal section at a more deliberate pace, it builds effectively… Schoeman also includes three selections from the Années de Pelerinage – one of them is the ‘Dante Sonata’, given a powerful presentation with much of the Lisztian rhetoric placed in proper perspective… The other two pieces are given in spectacular lyrical and colorful splashes of sound that captivate and thrill.”
  • “The Saint-Saëns Piano Concerto No.5 in F, Op.103 (Egyptian) demands much from the pianist in terms of brilliance, sensitivity and sheer technique. In every particular, Schoeman proved himself fully up to his considerable task, as one might expect from a Royal Over–Seas Gold Medal Winner (2009)”
  • “Ben Schoeman’s beautiful rendition of the Piano Concerto no. 5 in F major (‘Egyptian’) by Saint- Saëns at Thursday night’s symphony concert was a feast of virtuosity. However, delicate playing and sparkle, typical elements of Saint-Saëns’s music, were outstandingly achieved by Schoeman.”
  • “A young South African who played some of the most exquisite Bach in the book”
