| “Star
ascendant - Prize-winning bassoonist Kolkay seems well on
his way to having a career as a full-time soloist, which may
be a first for the instrument (I know of no other). His reputation
is blossoming at a remarkable rate, perhaps not so surprisingly
considering his many virtues. It wasn't merely technical control,
but expressive depth that impressed.”
- San Francisco Classical Voice
“Bassoonist Peter Kolkay delivered some
wonderfully expressive phrasing in the slow movement…”
- The Providence
Journal, RI
“As difficult as his instrument is to
play, Kolkay demonstrated time and time again the lyrical
possibilities of the bassoon, whose role as a solo instrument
has long been underrated by major composers.”
- The Flint Journal
"I have had the enormous pleasure of performing
with Peter Kolkay, and I cannot praise his talents enough.
He is a consummate musician, possessing both dazzling technique
and exquisite musicality. What an exciting player! Anyone
who might doubt the expressive power of the bassoon should
hear Peter Kolkay in concert."
- Ursula Oppens, pianist
“Mr. Kolkay was a delight to host and
performed brilliantly in every capacity. The masterclass was
highly informative and motivating for the students, the performance
of the concerto was technically impeccable and musically insightful
and moving, and the recital well programmed and musically
and personably performed…... I highly recommend him
to any orchestra or educa-tional institution for performance
or teaching.”
- Robert Vodnoy, Music Director,
Southwest Michigan Symphony
