"So one could enjoy the impulsive stop and go of Chopin, the whimsy of his cross-rhythms, the grandeur of his push toward a big cadence rather as one can with Horowitz or Rachmaninoff on records. As I heard one gentleman say with a smile on his face on the way out, 'It's been a long time since I heard Chopin played like that.' Too true, and too bad."

                    Will Crutchfield, The New York Times
 

"He has achieved a level of excellence hardly excelled by Horowitz himself. Both men have reached the summit of technical perfection. Janis has in addition his own kind of chiseled fire, dazzling command of every note he touches... he is defensibly the finest American pianist before the public today."

                    Philadelphia Bulletin
 

"Janis brings us an experience like no one else. He touches the dangerous boundaries of the sublime...where I believe great art resides."

                    Journal du Dimanche (Paris)

 

"Aside from a keyboard technique that has to be accounted one of the wonders of the music world, Janis brings a remarkable grasp of style. There is probably not another pianist on the concert scene who can equal Janis in the near seamless fusion of Classical and Romantic elements in Chopin interpretation."
