"Burnished Tones Evoke Ravel and Others in a Candlelit Room"

An atmospheric, late-night recital for the Mostly Mozart Festival by violinist James Ehnes and pianist Andrew Armstrong earns kind mention from the Times' Vivien Schwietzer.

After a 9 month search for a new pianist, the Amelia Piano Trio has joined forces with Andrew Armstrong.

Armstrong's performance of Mozart's 24th Piano Concerto -- replete with cadenza created by the pianist -- praised by John Pitcher for "the beauty and evenness of a strand of pearls," and "unfailing warmth and sensitivity." On the cadenza: "it definitely captured the spirit of the piece... alternately lyrical and dramatic. At times, it sounded like one of Beethoven’s virtuosic flights of fancy.

Armstrong joined Maestro Günther Herbig and the Nashville Symphony in a performance of Bartók's 3rd Piano Concerto. Jonathan A. Neufeld of the Teneseean: "The amount of expression that Armstrong is able to draw out of the material is remarkable."
