...In all, it was a memorable event of the highest accomplishments by two great artists.

Dvorak concerto with Maxim Shostakovich:

Both artists were completely engrossed in the music. Mr. Markson's technical prowess was greatly to be admired since it is the sort which does not draw attention to itself but rather simply is there at the service of whatever demands may be made   upon it.

            South China Morning Post

Richard Markson seems blessed with an infinite quality for drawing ever more beautiful sounds from his 'cello.

At times Markson was a magician accompanied by his instrument, a romantic poet expressing himself in rich creative tones.

BRUSSELS                   

The Bach Suites:

...an extremely gifted musician, who gave such exalted musical expression and virtuosity to these Suites that one was made to think of the greatest cellists such as Rostropovich & Tortelier.

Schumann concerto with Enrique Bátiz:

Markson was impressive as much for his technical security as his warm sonority and passionate temperament.

SYDNEY                        

When a cellist can claim to have been a pupil of Paul Tortelier & Pierre Fournier, it behoves the listener to approach with optimism. ...Those teachers would have purred with satisfaction.

Richard Markson was the eloquent soloist in Tchaikovsky’s Rococo Variations. He plays with considerable artistry, producing a lithe and beautiful tone.

Richard Markson/Jorge Federico Osorio  - Brahms Sonatas:

Richard Markson and Jorge Federico Osorio admirably matched in intensity, played with an explosive force that never dissipated and continually renewed itself.

OXFORD            

Beethoven Triple Concerto:

...a rhapsodic Largo which has to be among Beethoven's greatest slow movements.  Richard Markson, a pupil of Paul Tortelier and close associate of Pierre Fournier, brought to it all the refinement of phrasing and exquisite tone one associates with the Paris cello school.

Hugh Vickers, Oxford Times

LONDON           

Wigmore Hall with Michael Roll:

Richard Markson gave us a performance of great intensity together with immaculate phrasing and intonation.

Queen Elizabeth Hall with Mayumi Fujikawa, Nobuko Imai and Peter Frankl:

...the Lento began with a solo from Mr. Markson that was illustrative of the influence of his early mentor Pierre Fournier: the purity of the legato was so reminiscent of that old master's own playing.

Alan Blyth, Daily Telegraph
