REVIEW: “NUANCE, EASE AND REFINEMENT”
“In the performance of all these works, Namoradze played with the kind of nuance, ease, and refinement that the Honens family has come to expect of him, a type of musical searching and exploration found only in the playing of the most intelligent of pianists. And to cap it off, Namoradze concluded his program with Rachmaninov’s Piano Sonata No. 1 in D minor, a rarely played, barnstorming work composed about the same time as the Second Symphony, whose transcriptions of the second movement was heard earlier in the concert – yet more refractions.”

REVIEW: “CONSUMMATE ARTISTRY”
“Namoradze played the sonata as well as I can imagine it being played. Namoradze is extraordinarily undemonstrative at the keyboard; he never seems to be exerting himself. But close your eyes and you will hear an artist with an amazing command of dynamics from almost inaudible – as at the beginning of his ‘Georgian Song’ piece – to hair-raisingly loud as in the last movement of Rachmaninov’s Sonata No. 1.”
