Pianist Soheil Nasseri has been acclaimed by The New York Times as "a compelling recitalist. Consistently interesting... consistently thoughtful... a vivid imagination. Filled with character... fresh ideas... a magnificent technique. He put the music first without fail, the sign of a genuinely valuable artist," and by the Berliner Zeitung as “Fantastic! Exquisite! Hats off to him! A real talent. [In Beethoven] one was able to enjoy themselves on the highest level.”

In addition to such enthusiastic international praise, The New Yorker has noted that Mr. Nasseri is “one of New York’s most prolific recitalists.” Since the fall of 2001, he has performed nineteen completely different solo recital programs in New York, all without repeating a single piece: at Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall, at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center and at Merkin Concert Hall. These concerts included 23 premières of contemporary works in addition to 28 of Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas, a part of Mr. Nasseri's pledge to perform all of Beethoven's works involving piano, including the chamber music and lieder, by the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth in 2020.
