Robert Phillips:

Reviews & Booking

"...(the) virtuosic usage of the solo instrument offered a dynamic listening experience. Phillips tastefully performed the Concerto, with obvious attention to both rhythmic and melodic nuances of the composition. The performer himself commissioned the piece and seemed to resonate intimately with the composition's spirit."

- Sergiu Gherman, The Ledger

"...a dynamic performer who breathes life into the music he approaches... Phillips exploits the music's physical vigor with virtuosic playing and a perfect sense of timing."

"If anyone could be considered equal to the challenge of bringing classical guitar music - and the audience for it - into the next century, Mr. Phillips seems as likely a candidate as any."

"Guitarist Robert Phillips is an extraordinary artist whose central involvement and dedication to new music goes well beyond the 'Mission Impossible' approach of less imaginative players. When Phillips plays my 'Pipe Dream Sonata' I feel he brings with him an entirely new dimension to the curious world of the guitar - its technique and its expressive image!"

"Robert Phillips, who is active in the guitar world not only as a player but as a composer, journalist, and broadcaster, gave an interestingly varied program Saturday night as Weill Recital Hall. He concentrated on 20^th century music...he showed an aptitude for putting across character."

Robert Phillips is available for solo recitals, chamber music, and concertos.
