12/2016, The Gramophone

"Clean and thoroughly prepared performance by Cluster ensemble."

Philip Clark, Cluster Ensemble Plays Glass – review of the 3CD Cluster Ensemble Plays Glass
2

8. 8. 2016, Pitchfork

“Cluster ensemble selected several iconic works by Philip Glass, and their performance is much sharper and clearer than any other similar recording in history.”

Seth Colter Walls, review of the 3CD Cluster Ensemble Plays Philip Glass

“What is remarkable about Cluster ensemble's interpretation is that it never sounds didactic; it is beautifully natural and consistently musical. The fact that the performers have internalized Glass’s music is evident in the interpretation of every single note on their recording.”

Andrew Clements, review of the 3CD Cluster Ensemble Plays Philip Glass

5/2021, Hudobný život

“The album Ivan Šiller – Lasciar Sonare (InMusic) is a tribute to 20th-century pianism. The pieces represent a unique collection of piano tendencies; in addition to the concert experience with a quality booklet text, it is also an educational journey 'from minimalism to maximalism' with music by Philip Glass, Martin Burlas, György Ligeti, and Valentin Silvestrov. Performed by Ivan Šiller, it is – in his words – a transition to another dimension, akin to crossing the speed of light. Etudes, bagatelles, lullabies, and rails…”

Peter Motyčka, Rádiohlavy – already the second time during the pandemic.

Cantéyodjayâ

7-8/2019, Hudobný život

“Ivan Šiller’s solo recital was a stunning artistic experience, a 'journey' through selected 20th-century works, guided by him as a highly skilled and sensitive 'tour guide.' With ease and conviction, he 'shifted' between many nuances, skillfully handling the dense and complex web of small interpretative challenges. He thoroughly and delicately revealed the essence of each piece, allowing us to 'listen into' their beauty.”

Doc. Daniel Matej, Ensemble Ricercata: Cantéyodjayâ

This passage describes Šiller's exceptional ability to navigate intricate musical textures and his interpretive skill in making each composition come alive with clarity and depth.
