UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN (Scotland, May 2011; Re: Concert 3 May 2011) Alan Cooper
“Tuesday’s recital by Kevin Komisaruk from the University of Toronto must surely go down as the most
astonishingly adventurous in the series so far. Surely the summit of achievement in this recital came with
Komisaruk’s astonishingly powerful performance of Einojuhani Rautavaara’s Ta Tou Theou Op.30. Although
this music sounds nothing like Messiaen, Rautavaara like the French composer touches on some
mystical vision within his own soul and delivers it in music of blood fire and soaring spirituality.”
SUD-OUEST (France, July 2006; Re: Concert 13 July 2006) Estelle Maussion
“Kevin Komisaruk a pris possession de l’orgue de l’abbatiale Sainte-Croix hier soir…chacun trouve son
bonheur dans le programme. L’organiste vit son concert comme une performance émotionelle; petits et
grands frissonnent.”
SCHERZO MAGAZINE (Spain, January 2007; Re: Samuel Scheidt)
“La interpretación de Komisaruk se caracteriza por la lucidez de una dictión que permite al oyente una
percepción inmediata y complete de cada página musical. Se ha de subrayar además la habilidad y la
mesura extremas en el manejo de los registros.”
GOLDBERG MAGAZINE (Spain, December 2006; Re: Samuel Scheidt)
“…un CD interpretado con entusiasmo y brillantez.”
JOURNAL OF SEVENTEENTH CENTURY MUSIC (US, March 2006; Re: John Bull) Candace Bailey

“‘Un concentum doux et gracieux’ c’est ce qu’on entend sous les doigts de Kevin Komisaruk”
WHOLENOTE MAGAZINE (Canada, January 2006; Re: Samuel Scheidt) Gabrielle McLaughlin
“He has an impeccable touch on the instrument, and his musicality is made evident in the colours he uses
and in his ability to create a strong character for each piece.”
RADIO CANADA (Canada, April 2004; Re: Samuel Scheidt)
“Il a parfaitement mis en valeur ce répertoire par une registration particulièrement bien choisie, un sens de
l’invention et du phrasé remarquables et une certaine spontanéité qui redonne vie et fraîcheur à ce répertoire.”
CBC RADIO (Canada, July 2003; Re: “Music from Montreal” Concert broadcast) Kelly Rice
“You’ll hear right away how much colour Kevin Komisaruk finds on this remarkable instrument!”
LE MAGAZINE D’ORGUE (Belgium, July 2001; Re: John Bull) Jean Ferrard
“…un disque parfait, original et indispensable.” …A disc that is outstanding, original, and indispensable.
RADIO CANADA (Canada, January 2001; Re: John Bull) Luc Beauséjour
“The playing is remarkable…you can hear the organ breathing, even weeping, as if it were almost human.”
