“My aim will be forever to let the music of today sound to an audience in the best possible way, and to convince the people of the beauty and expressiveness of the music of their own living world.” Ralph van Raat

“[Mr. Adams] would surely like Mr. van Raat’s hard work and enthusiasm” New York Times

“The performances by Ralph van Raat…are a triumph of deceptiveness: that is, playing these pieces must require the utmost concentration as you count the bars past, avoid those little modifications to rhythm that a pianist will instinctively deploy to bring a performance alive, but van Raat obtains a near-hypnotic control in the two early pieces, almost mechanical in its reliability, and he bubbles with life in the later two” International Piano
