“Clearly a young man on the way up, Mr. Wallick showed that he has the technique, sensitivity and poise for a concert career.”
-Cincinnati Enquirer
"Wallick owned the Gershwin, investing every bar of it with just the right feel of verve and spontaneity. He and Moody inspired the orchestra to swing joyfully along -- which seemed only natural, given how many players are also proficient in jazz. The finale emerged with uncommon drive and energy."
-Winston Journal
"Wallick made the most of the third movement with astonishing fluency and power, but more pleasing was the flawless integration of his playing with the orchestra’s….This was a seamless fabric of sound."
-Courier and Press
“Wallick brought to each composition his own interpretation and flair. There was always a zest in his delivery that could be compared to the joy of discovery for the first time.”
-Sanibel Islander
"The audience applauded his virtuoso piano so intensely and for so long that he relented and served up a little dessert -- a wicked "Flight of the Bumblebee." So fast, his hands were blurs over the keys."
-Extreme Culture
“There was something brilliant and intense, as well as aristocratic in his approach to the keyboard.”
-South Hampton Press
“Wallick provided an amazingly focused and eloquent interpretation bursting with youthful vitality and creative energy.”
-The Times Reporter
“Mr. Wallick…possesses a naturally singing tone, an ability to project emotion and to play with command effortlessly. As he tackled the lush, arch-romantic score with his own blend of bravura and sensitivity, you could hear a pin drop.”
