"Thoughtful, poetic accounts, Mr. Kigawa’s Debussy is carefully shaded and texturally transparent. He knows how to make this music sparkle. He is equally adept at tapping Debussy’s sense of mystery." - The New York Times

"'Aimez-vous préludes?' (as the novel title didn’t quite go). Whether you do or don’t, feast on this recital from a superb pianist more commonly heard playing the newest of the new: first, Chopin’s 24 Preludes, Op. 28; second, Debussy’s Preludes, Book 1; third, well, Debussy’s Preludes, Book 2" - The New York Times

"The stalwart New York pianist, a tenacious performer of the most complex modern scores, takes a backward glance in his latest concert at Le Poisson Rouge, an expansive solo recital that offers Chopin’s Twenty-Four Preludes, Op. 28, and Debussy’s Preludes, Books I and II." - The New Yorker
