“I love your playing – it touches straight to one’s heart. Tears came to my eyes and my soul felt so happy to hear this incredible voice you have with your violin. It is glorious and rich and pure — the finest of violinists – that is You. Your playing is Divine. It moves an entire orchestra and makes music we have heard so many times become rare and exquisite”.
Rebecca Rutkowski – Violinist, Concermaster of Peninsula Symphony, Topanga Symphony, Beach Cities Symphony
“The introduction for “Waltz for My Father”—a piece I composed the day after my father died— needed empathy, passion and virtuosity. Philip’s playing touched my soul (and many listeners’!) in such a beautiful, intense and passionate way, with his exquisite phrasing and genuine affection. I couldn’t have asked for a better soloist to start the piece. And throughout the album, Ragas & Waltzes, his touch was absolutely perfect, delivering just what was needed in a chamber ensemble without drawing spotlight to oneself except for when it was needed. Add to this his precision to detail, a willingness to serve the music, and take the listener on a beautiful sonic journey, and you have a truly virtuosic, thoughtful and consummate musician.”.
Charu Suri – Jazz Pianist, Composer

“I had the honor of listening to your recent violin performance. You have a talent so rare in this day and age. I closed my eyes with awe of your gift to empower your violin to speak with such emotion and passion that the beauty in the notes played reminded me of an angel singing from the heavens. BRAVO!!”
