"He’s brimming with talent and youth, but he also has the sobriety to do justice to the correct expression of a work. Thibault Cauvin is completely in his element. He has proven himself, with surprising maturity, to be a virtuoso performer, eminently musical, gifted, in addition, with an eclectic ear." Los Angeles Times

"Technical perfection and musical expression fully developed are the distinctive features of this remarkable phenomenon: Thibault Cauvin." Robert Fontani / General Anzeiger

"I was fascinated, wondering where he’d take the music... Cauvin has a real depth of understanding of the music he plays. He’s a full-fledged star." Tom Kerstens

"Musically limitless, with intense bursts of feeling and a love of life that really comes across." Colin Cooper, Classical Guitar Magazine
