"Even in a catalogue overloaded with excellent recordings of Schumann’s Humoreske, Cognet’s integrity, idiomatic perception and refined mastery draw you into the composer’s volatile sound world. [...] The intimate yet full-bodied sound does Cognet’s beautiful tone justice. Keep your eye on this superb pianist and intelligent musician – I know I will!"

“We have many musicians in the U.S., but in my experience, few on the level of Matthieu Cognet. Someone of his enormous talent is greeted with open arms wherever he is invited to perform.”
“Matthieu Cognet is, in my opinion, one of the most gifted musicians in the world today. He is without question in the top 1% of pianists performing at all levels in the United States and internationally.’’
Philip Setzer, 9-time Grammy Award Winner, Emerson Quartet
“In every performance he has demonstrated his complete knowledge of every kind of music from all centuries, effortlessly and thoroughly.”
“His musicianship is completely informed, compelling and in short, dazzling.”
Carol Wincenc, American Flutist, Grammy Award Nominee, The Juilliard School, Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center
“Matthieu Cognet’s abilities and achievements transcend that of the usual young musician in today’s music world, and his versatility truly sets him apart as one of the premiere artists of today.”
“Matthieu Cognet is a published composer with the renowned company Hal Leonard, having published a new arrangement for solo piano of Maurice Ravel’s ‘La Valse’ […]Both this arrangement and the publishing credit are typically insurmountable feats by most of today’s musicians.”
Spencer Myer, American Pianist, Bard College
“An exceptional soloist, Matthieu displays complete command and mastery of a wide range of repertoire and musical styles.”
“Matthieu is committed to enhancing the art form. His impressive arrangement of La Valse for solo piano was published in 2015 under the Lauren Keiser label, and draws upon the most recent study of Ravel’s manuscripts and sketches.”
“Through his dedications and flexibility, he represents the ideal 21st century musician. Matthieu Cognet is an asset to the music world.”
Anton Rist, Principal clarinet of the Metropolitan Opera
