"Haefliger maintained refinement, eloquence and perspective, with a wonderful capacity for hushed, mellow playing that was not only right for the musical context but also utterly spellbinding. This was the most completely enjoyable performance of the Proms so far."
The Daily Telegraph
"The welcome soloist was Andreas Haefliger, whose easy command of the keyboard meant that lyricism shone through even in the most technically demanding moments. He floated a dreamy line in the adagio and brought out the finale’s dancing rhythm."
The Times
Recitals
"A towering performance of Brahms’ massive F minor Sonata sounds as revolutionary as everything that has gone before. Quirky, tremendous and highly recommended."
The Guardian
"Andreas Haefliger’s poise, control and sensitivity teases true magic from Mozart’s sonatas… Haefliger plays with a naturalness that allows the music to unfold with grace and simplicity… More please!"
