“Magnificent”

Herald 2007

” Cohen gave a deeply moving, highly accomplished and wonderfully musical readinh. Embracing the technicalities with masterful ease, he empathised totally with both conductor and accompanying musicians, conbeying all the emotions of Elgar’s fine composition without resorting to any of the excessive physical histrionics we sometimes associate with concerto solsoits….a true unique musician.”

Classical Source 2005

“Cohen demonstrated considerable abilities as well as poetic and mature qualities”

“The audience was holding their breaths for five long seconds after the last chord”

Rising Star Tour review 2001

” David Cohen performs with striking style and a wonderfully expressive reading of Bach’s cello suites. His tone colour was warm and full yet never overdone, articulation was immaculately clean, phrasing was perfectly judged and his control of the lightning string crossing and running scales in the gigue was beyond reproach.

Schubert’s arpeggione sonata had an irresistible lightness of touch, coloured with real passion in the more intense moments.”

“David Cohen gives a warm, rich and mellow in tone account of Lalo’s concerto, his playing demonstrates total commitment, combining vitality with expressive feeling in the most spontaneous manner.”
