Check out what people are saying about Matthew and his CD "Everyone But Me."
"Check out this great recording made by Matthew Murchison from Pittsburgh! The CD is a lovely mix of musical styles, [and] his performance on this CD was excellent, encompassing a great range with superior musicianship and sensitivity in his performances. Matthew performs with excellent technique and musicianship, great tonality, and sound. He is a very lyrical performer, as the instrument demands, and I really enjoy listening to the tapered end sounds of his sustained notes. I think we will be hearing a lot more about Matthew in the coming years."
Cynthia Short, review in ITEA Journal
"The highlight was euphonium player Matthew Murchison's dazzling performance of William Kroll's "Banjo and Fiddle." Kroll is a renowned violinist who wrote the piece to showcase his own skills. The idea of playing a virtuosic violin riff on euphonium may sound like a train wreck waiting to happen, but Murchison nailed it perfectly."
Eric Haines, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Matthew Murchison is without a doubt among the most talented young musicians performing today on any instrument. With 'Everyone But Me' Murchison stakes a claim for credibility as a mature artist. His performance in this compact disc is warm, inviting and engaging. Much more than just a vehicle for his spectacular and flawless technique, this is first-rate music played by a burgeoning artist. Even if you can't spell the word euphonium, you'll love this album."
Denis Colwell, Music Director-River City Brass Band; Director of Wind Ensemble-Carnegie Mellon University
"Matt Murchison is one of the new ‘young lions’ of the euphonium. His focused sound and technical prowess place him among the finest players of his…or any generation. His recital and master class at Penn State were superb, as Matthew displayed maturity beyond his years with a virtuoso performance and articulate pedagogical comments."
Martin Erickson, tuba, Lawrence Conservatory
"Matthew’s technique is dazzling, his tone solid, and his performances keep you on the edge of your seat."
Lance LaDuke, Adjunct Professor of Euphonium, Duquesne University; Principal Euphonium, River City Brass Band
"Matthew Murchison is one of the most exciting young euphonium players on the scene today. His singing tone quality, virtuosity, and innate musicianship truly set him apart. I’m sure we will continue to hear wonderful things about this young artist."
Mark Kellogg, Associate Professor of Euphonium, Trombone and Chamber Music, Eastman School of Music and Principal Trombone, Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra
