“Ben Goldscheider’s horn-playing alone is a joy, particularly in the theatrical, improvisatory gestures of Quasi Una Cadenza.”

— BBC Music Magazine / Erika Fox-NMCD254 / August 2019  

“Performances from Ben Goldscheider, Astrig Siranossian, and Barenboim—mostly playing as a chamber musician….were not only excellent and tonally alluring, but spoke of understanding and the fondest of advocacy.”

— Boulezian / Pierre Boulez Saal - Premiere of Palomar’s Im Ocean der Sterne/ Nov 2019

“Debut answers the necessary question about what separates Ben Goldscheider from the ranks of well-qualified horn players. He is a young man with a timeless gift.” 

— Voix des Arts 'Recording of the month', January 2018

“In the hands of 18 year old Ben Goldscheider, [Esa-Pekka Salonen’s] Horn Etude is an exhilarating thrill ride; Goldscheider becoming a musical Bear Grylls, fearlessly leaping through its dangerous terrain. You find yourself with him every step of the way.”
