…Toth held the spectators in his fist with a recital that will be difficult to forget, but revealed his innate qualities as a true showman. His irresistible encore, the Rigoletto Paraphrase of Liszt, was introduced with his own fulminant explanation/listening guide. Theatre within theatre, sagacious humour, and grand music received by thunderous applause. – la Voce di Mantova, Italy

 

… a brilliant Soloist !…in Mendelssohns First Piano Concerto Toth displayed true technical brilliance and jocundity. –Neue Westfälische Zeitung, Germany

 

Toths spiel ist meisterlich, schnoerkellos, klar, sensibel, mitreissend. Es lebt. Und Toth lebt darin und dafuer. (Toths playing is masterful, clear, sensitive, and seductive. It lives and Toth lives for it and within it.) – Bad Rehburg, Germany

Notably in the second half, dedicated to Beethoven (sonata Op.101) and Liszt (Etude de Paganini no.2 and Rigoletto Paraphrase), Toth’s virtuosity emerged, never in a means to itself, but with absolute mastery of piano playing where his skills showed natural fluidity, exulting expressive force and interpretive sensibility. – Acquaviva Giornaliera, Italy

 

… in the Goldberg Variations of Bach, the artist succeeded in presenting the strict yet emotional-laden architecture of the piece incredibly transparently, thus driving the enthusiastic public to their feet. – Westfälische Allgemeine Zeitung, Germany
