Phillips has been praised for his “bejeweled accuracy” (BBC Music Magazine), and been called “an able and persuasive advocate” of new music (The New York Times) and “truly, a post-modern pianist” (Time Out Chicago). With Impressions, he continues his advocacy of new music, delivering a wonderful and diverse collection of pieces from the last decade, including several new works written for him. His previous albums include American Vernacular: New Music for Solo Piano, Boris Papandopulo: Piano Music, and Portals and Passages.
