Jazz magazine
"(Yakir Arbib) traverse l’histoire de la musique et du piano à la vitesse d’un TGV."
Télérama
"Imaginez Duke Elligton jouant du Schumann, Martial Solal en train d’improviser sur un air de bastringue, ou encore Coltrane revisité par Debussy, et vous commencerez à vous faire une idée du génie de Yakir Arbib."
Sony Records
"The show when I was there was stolen by a ten minute solo performance from Yakir Arbib – powerful and energetic and full of references and musical statements …. for once the noisy audience stopped talking and listened."
All about music
"Remarkable improvisation from a pair of musicians with an almost telepathic connection. Two players worth keeping an eye on, individually and collectively."
