Sittig played Beethoven's Fifth Concerto very musically,
showing brilliance in the Allegro, a poetical undertone
in the Adagio and a wealth of colours in the Rondo.
He got a well-deserved ovation.

The
special prize was awarded to Sander Sittig , who clearly
was the audience's favourite. Quite understandable,
as he showed extremely delicate and aristocratic playing,
above all in his passionate rendering of Prokofieff's
Second Sonata.
(Eindhovens
Dagblad on the Tromp Competition)
His
interpretation of Beethoven's Sonata was truly amazing.
I was impressed by his unfailing sense of structure,
timing and elasticity. He made full use of all the contrasts
and the sudden changes of mood.

Weber's
‘Konzertstück' was a really different matter. It
gave pianist Sander Sittig a chance to shine in brilliant
passage work which he did with obvious pleasure.
(Rotterdams
Nieuwsblad)
His
playing is simply fabulous. Sittig's interpretation
is musically refined and he seems to have no technical
limitations. His touch is playful and his renditions
sound transparent, natural and very convincing. This
pianist caresses even the seemingly most unimportant
detail, without losing the big picture. It is surprising
how he easily takes big risks and frequently stretches
his limits.

as well an enormous interpretative power, alternating

made a big impression, above all his superior Webern
and the masterly grand scale in Brahms.

Suspense
from the first moment, thanks to technical mastery,
a beautiful touch and big yet natural dynamic contrasts.
Sittig maintained that mood in the etudes as well, magically
turning technique into melodiousness.
(IJmuider
Courant on a recital)
His
Beethoven sounded at times full of drive, then brilliant
and contemplative as well.
(Tubantia
on a recital)
Magic
started right during the first eight bars, a chord progession
delivered with such intensity everybody would sense
a miracle was going to happen. Immediately a flowing
symbiosis was created between soloist and orchestra.
Sittig constantly took the orchestra on the wings of
his passionate and moving interpretation. He expressed
the languish of the composer's tormented soul with intimate
tenderness, accompanied by delicate strings and excellent
flute and clarinet solos.

Stem on Rachmaninoff's Second Concerto)
