| …His account of Marcel Dupré's "Variations sur un Noël" was a no-holds-barred indulgence in superb virtuosity and, for me, this brilliant and also witty performance amounted to quite the most thrilling playing of the entire festival … | ||

| An evening, worthy of the center of organ
music … The intense performance of Max Reger's "Fantasia and Fugue on B-A-C-H" op. 46 by the organist Andreas Liebig, who was born in Gütersloh in 1962 sparkled liveliness, sensibility and vigour. With flexible virtuosity, almost screeming, then gently the famous four note motif appeared in an always exciting and touching interpretation, which steadily pursued the aim of exhausting the uttermost extremes. In the fugue, as dreaming, with unearthly delicacy the precious sound texture developed out of a deep reverie in continual crescendo and culminated saturated by luminous rays into a majestic finale … |

Festival winner returns to city The inclusion of John Buckley's 1985 piece for Gerard Gillen, "At the round earth's imagin'd corners", was a generous appreciation of this vividly colourful score. Its inspiration stemmed from one of John Donne's visionary sonnets, which Dr. Cyril Cusack declaimed by way of introduction. The quality of Buckley's writing, announced through dread summoning fanfares of almost colossal force, obviously touched the interpretative genius of Herr Liebig. The result brought a stunning account of this intensely dramatic piece of musical contrast where the gentlest of motifs could have a counterbalance and disturbing vehemence. The range and scope of the short work brought exceptional brilliance and excitement in performance. But each of Herr Liebig's chosen subjects, which besides some delightful Bach moved into Mozart, César Franck and Liszt, had the same kind of magnificent treatment. RTE sponsored the recital. |

| A magnificent example of the gifted talent for great interpretation. | ||

| … It was a pleasure to hear how his
choice of tempo harmonized with the acoustic in the church: neither
so quick that detail was lost nor so slow that the impression of wholeness
disappeared. His ability also to infuse the music with dimension so
that space and dynamics worked together, his coupling of near/distant
effects with strong and soft shading was impressive without seeming
demonstrative. His handling of melody was quite similar: it was clear
and logical without seeming obvious and was sustained by compact and
well balanced registration. … the gifted organ performance that was as spacious as it was spatial was his achievement. |

| Andreas Liebig offered splendid sound Exploding, with wordly vigour Andreas Liebig projected the outer movements of Bach's Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in C major at the beginning of the organ matinee in St. Aegidien. His interpretation displayed all the splendour which was customary for the rhetoric of that time, singing like a dream the Adagio. One immediately noticed his faultless technical confidence, his rhythmical strength as well as his glittering but never overbriming sense of timbre. … he proved his thoroughness on this side from the Baroque with Liszt's Variations on a basso ostinato by the Thomaskantor. Impetuously, with an almost everlasting daemon he plunged into the weighty beginning. For the extensively rambling manual parts he was able to let the gentle and delicate complexities of voices glimmer in complementary contrast. With ease our guest managed the renewed outburst in the double pedal to glide over through the short spherically illuminated interlude into the chorale "Was Gott tut" and towered the coda to the demanded sublime majesty. |

| …Andreas Liebig appears in temperament to be disciplined romantic, fully at home in the advanced Lisztian world of Julius Reubke's Sonata "The 94th Psalm" …Liebig's performance conveys the sinuously chromatic fervour of "The 94th Psalm" with strong conviction and was equally impressive in the short moto perpetuo burst of "Les yeux dans les roués" from Messiaen's 1951 "Livre d'Orgue" | ||
