The Press on Sarah’s concert performances:
She is certainly in the senior league of British pianists.
MusicWeb International
She played (Mozart piano concerto K271) with great precision and with supreme ease. The serious, stately middle movement, of which she made a show piece of pianistic evocation of mood, seems particularly to have suited her natural talent.
Wiener Zeitung
Her careful pianism comes through as a confident mixture of such technical elements as crystalline touch, elegant phrasing, singing line, precise voicing, lightness and agility. But in expressive sentiment, she went considerably beyond these attributes.
San Francisco Chronicle
Sarah Beth Briggs played with an intelligence which had both style and a distinctive voice.
Geoffrey Norris, The Daily Telegraph
Soloist Sarah Beth Briggs gave a stunning performance, her virtuosity apparent in every stroke of the keyboard.
The Musical Opinion
Fine lyrical cantabile…delivered exquisitely from the heart… touched with delicate and haunting lyricism… interpreted tenderly and with simplicity
MusicWeb International
Briggs played with power, insight and commanding musicianship.
Manchester Evening News
…an exceptionally gifted musician
The Guardian
She has Mozart completely at her fingertips, and took great care over all the dovetailing with the orchestral parts, as well as providing delightful embellishments at cadence points and wonderfully vigorous full-blown cadenzas.
Manchester Evening News
I don’t think I’ve heard a performance (of Beethoven’s 4th piano concerto) as delicate and refined as this. Sarah Beth Briggs just commanded attention.
