In the press

'Florian Verweij makes a magnificent case for the piano music of Jean Roger-Ducasse [...]. Sonorités de Paris is an exceptionally well-recorded and finely crafted album, paired with strong liner notes.'

★★★★ Trouw (NL) on debut album Sonorités de Paris (2025)

'The pianist interprets it with a solid technique, great emotional sensitivity and an ever-emerging musical instinct that pops up everywhere when it comes to a sense of urgency.'

★★★★★ De Gelderlander (NL) on debut album Sonorités de Paris (2024)

‘Impeccably polished piano playing, yet completely free. It is symptomatic of his debut album, which contains even more hidden gems, for which Verweij makes a passionate and refined musical case.'

★★★★★ Dagblad van het Noorden (NL) on debut album Sonorités de Paris (2024)

'Florian Verweij convincingly demonstrates that Jean Roger-Ducasse was too modest of a composer'

★★★★ de Volkskrant (NL) on debut album Sonorités de Paris (2024)

'The pianist immediately demonstrated his ability to produce a differentiated tone. He played with a sensitivity in his touch that suited French music, especially in the following Trois romances sans paroles opus 17 by Fauré.

De Nieuwe Muze (NL) on the release concert of Sonorités de Paris (2024)

'... musical paintings, created with much love and an intuitive grasp of the French spirit around 1900: tender, yet expressive colours and elegant, melodic lines.'

Noord-Hollands Dagblad (NL) on debut album Sonorités de Paris (2025)

'Schumann's Arabesque turned into pure poetry under his hands.'

Dagblad van het Noorden (NL, 2023)

'... he played with a sense of heroism and nobility. In the second movement, his touch was highly nuanced: it was impressive how he managed to make the same note or chord sound different each time. […] Technically, the Dutch pianist's performance was rock solid.'
