“Gil Sullivan – who, in Australia is one of the greats – is a pleasant exception amongst the unfortunately rising number of younger male, and especially female, pianists who present themselves on their CDs in a neat and sexy fashion, but whose playing often provokes only a bored yawn.  And Sullivan especially does not submit to what popular music taste dictates – mainstream, as it is called nowadays – which says that Mozart has to sound such and such, or Chopin in exactly that way.  No, Gil Sullivan does it his own way; he is a philosopher, he questions, he analyses and only then does he sit down at his instrument. His playing of Mozart is truly unique and altogether spellbinding, like no Mozart playing this reviewer has ever heard. Many times I felt I was listening to Mozart himself there on stage, so bold, fresh, stylish, and innovative were the interpretations, which never affected the music’s true kernel”.
