Several years ago, he demonstrated his great art in the same Matinee in Concertgebouw, Amsterdam. In the Piano Concerto by Alfred Schnittke in the introductory cadence Hoteev showed his depth to trance which allows him to go all the way... Suggestive music Schnittke’s music gained a strong and multifaceted interpretation and Hoteev’s performance sometimes resembled a delightful irrepressible and drive of Glenn Gould! “ Jos Ruiters, “Russische pianist geeft diepgang zonder gene bloot“ (Nordhollands Dagblad, Amsterdam, ) “Andrej Hoteev is born virtuoso: powerful, incredible and amazing. One can rarely hear such a spectacular and powerful performance. He plays the piano, as if the fate of the world depends on it. He is a true warrior. He is a hero. Never seen! “ Michel Faure ,, VERS L’APOTHEOSE “(,, La Marseilles“ e 14.M ai 1996), France “Russian pianist Andrej Hoteev led movement in heaven and hell... His great pianism is not digitalized fingers, but exciting spiritual world, his humanistic appeals, his drama and landscapes of his moods... Hoteev interprets the 9th Scriabine’s Sonata (“Black Mass“) as anticipation disasters of humanity in the 20th century. The other highlights of the evening were the Grand Sonata in B Minor by F. Liszt and sensational performance of “Pictures at an Exhibition“ by Mussorgsky.

To illustrate the ballet’s magical content more completely through the music, Andrej Hoteev has put together an exciting ballet suite that includes fairy dances, scenes from fairy tales, dances for Princess Aurora and her Prince and of course Tchaikovsky’s most beautiful waltzes, played by Hoteev himself and his wife, the Russian pianist Olga Hoteev.“ (WORLD PREMIERE RECORDING -- NCA -- New Classical Adventure 2012)
