Pianist Phillip Evans's special affinity for the music of Bela Bartok was acknowledged by the late, Pulitzer prize-winning critic Harold Schonberg in his important book The Great Pianists: "Phillip Evans in Bartok, Roslyn Tureck in Bach." His series of Bartok CDs received extraordinary reviews, such as the following from George Jellinek of The New York Times: "Evans played both Sonatas with searching insight, in total triumph over their technical difficulties...he plays superbly." Highlights of this release, Phillip Evans Plays Bartok, include evocations of nature at night (crickets, bird calls, bat wings) in Out of Doors and an elegy to Debussy in Improvisations. A music critic for several major South Florida newspapers, he is a faculty member at Lynn University, and has also served on the faculties of NYU, Hofstra, CUNY, Michigan State Univ., and the Harid Conservatory.
