REVIEWS
“Chamber Music” — drew nuanced
and emotionally communicative performances from Holiday, as well as chiseled, perceptive work at the piano from Kevin J. Miller.
Washington Post
Miller’s playing was kinetic, especially in Owens’s vivid writing — efficiently obstinate in “Desire,” with a lovely pitter-patter of raindrops in “In time of silver rain.” He seemed to relish putting a little dirt into the opening of Evans’s “Southern Mansion.”
New York Times
"Throughout, pianist Kevin Miller proved a sensitive accompanist, mining the darkness from the Tchaikovsky and Pergolesi songs and adding a pearly-toned accompaniment for the Caldara. Some of his most brilliant playing came in the Massenet, where his heavier touch captured the dark sonorities of the original orchestral accompaniment. His handling of the sprightly accompaniment to the Offenbach aria was light and dexterous."
Boston Classical Review
"Miller played supportively and sensitively throughout the program, moving from style to style with aplomb.."
Boston Musical Intelligencer
"Le pianiste américain a joué tout au long avec précision, entrain et émotion."
Le Soleil
"Slack’s accompanist was Kevin Miller, a pianist of surpassing delicacy of touch. He seemed to flick rather than press the keys.....Miller’s support participated elegantly in the evening, floating on the tide in the voice’s wake. Some of the songs, however, demanded a sure rhythm, and then Miller distinctly reminded us that the piano is a percussion instrument."
