Pascal & Ami Rogé

 
CLASSICALSOURCE.COM June 2010
(Debussy's) Petite Suite introduced a welcome degree of volatility and playful legerdemain as though one were eavesdropping on a relaxed family occasion, which in a sense we were. With the serious business out of the way the Rogés treated us to an encore, Souvenir de Bayreuth, Fauré and Messager's hilarious take on Wagner's "Ring" cycle . . . wicked and also wickedly funny. (Kings Place Recital June 2010)
 
THE LEBRECHT REPORT (La Scena Musicale) January 2010
The finest Debussy player of today duets with his new bride in Wedding Cake by Saint-Saens, before working through Fauré’s Dolly Suite and Ravel’s La Valse to an exquisite rendition of Debussy’s Petite Suite. Wedding pictures of Pascal and Ami Rogé decorate the booklet and the recital includes a newly composed tribute to the bride by the California composer Paul Chihara. It’s all rather touching, a perfect Valentine’s gift. (Music for Piano Duo/ONYX CLASSICS 4047)
 
THE STRAITS TIMES, June 2009
Pascal Rogé was joined by his wife Ami in four-hand works by Schubert and Ravel. The former's Fantaisie in F minor was a study of balance and intimacy, most eloquently marrying Biedermeier prettiness with contrapuntal mastery. The sensuality exuded in the latter's Rapsodie Espagnole was never in doubt . . . hypnotic and exuberant. (16th Singapore International Piano Festival)
 
DOMINION POST, WELLINGTON, April 2008
a concert of sheer delight and a reason for celebration. The pianism was seamlessly superb.
