"Love him or hate him, audiences tend to have strong feelings about pianist Fazil Say."
(New York Magazine)

"Love him or hate him, audiences tend to have strong feelings about pianist Fazil Say. His jazz and boogie interpretations of classical works and his flamboyant performance style - in which he reaches inside the piano to pluck the strings or hums along with himself à la Glenn Gould - are cited as manifestations of genius or impudence, depending on whom you ask." (New York Magazine)
