Martin Grubinger
“Mr. Grubinger…is a master of the high-speed chase. He can also go from barely audible triplepianos to earsplitting ultrafortissimos.” (The New York Times)

REVIEWS
“The audience loved it — and their enthusiasm was rewarded by Grubinger carrying a high-tension snare drum forward to the footlights for his own three-minute Planet Rudiment: ear-splitting circus acts with at least six hard sticks drumming so fast that they flew, and then juggled from hand to hand to shoulder." (The Times, November 2012)
“Martin Grubinger is a once-in-a-hundred-years musician. When vital elemental force and artistic finishing touch, when nature and spirit come together so closely, the consciousness inevitably experiences a spontaneous expansion.” (Die Welt, July 2008)
“Mr. Grubinger… is a master of the high-speed chase. He can go from barely audible triple-pianos to earsplitting ultrafortissimos.” (New York Times, March 2008)
