"This was one of the rare recitals in our hectic modern life that was passionate and moving.... It is extremely rare to encounter a performance that is so satisfying in every respect as on this special evening.... The most striking characteristics of Arthur Greene's playing are his beautiful singing melodic tone and the exciting forward drive which seems to be his nature.... He is the kind of pianist to whom we would like to pay attention for many years into the future." (Watakushitachi-no-Ongaku, Japan)
