“Hornung seems to come from another planet. One does not find in his playing the slightest unevenness, not a single stylistic crumb. A newcomer who combines the cool confidence of a veteran performer with the youthful abandon of a rookie.”
“Maximilian Hornung can do so many things well – an enviable mix of technical address, tonal sophistication, and intelligence – and it is not surprising how high a reputation he has already.”
Geoffrey Newman, Vancouver Classical Music | September 2015
“Mr. Hornung’s clear-eyed interpretation capably sifted through Strauss’ dense musical material, his tone direct yet warm. Like an able guide navigating through an undiscovered forest, he commanded the pace of the work during solo passages while maintaining communication with other musicians.”
