"Enlow made a powerful impression...The program was performed entirely from memory...plenty of variety and interest, featuring captivating pianissimos, seamless monster crescendos, flashy toccatas, and lyrical melodies." (The Bulletin, Toronto Centre RCCO, Michael Capon)
"Brilliant young organist...His is an exceptional talent. He plays the organ with intelligence, passion and technical perfection....Mr. Enlow was able to rise to the top of his class at both schools (Curtis and Juilliard) where the expected level of performance is very high, playing a new piece each week from memory...I can state that his artistry has continued to grow." (Prof. John Weaver, teacher of David Enlow at both Curtis and Juilliard)
" The highlight of our series. Clarity and flawless technique...stunning performance." (Dr. John T. King, Hitchcock Presbyterian Church, Scarsdale NY, presenter)
"A delight. He rose to the challenge magnificently, playing beautifully, selecting music that showed each organ and space to advantage, and tackling the technical differences with aplomb. The concert was a big success for us." (Prof. Oliver Goodenough, Pentangle Council on the Arts, Woodstock VT, presenter)
"I was thrilled with all aspects of his performance! His musicianship was always in service to the music, very judiciously applied, and never inappropriate. His technical prowess was very much in evidence throughout the concert....This series has been fortunate to be able to present some of the world's finest organ artists [and I] enthusiastically consider David Enlow to be a member of this elite society." (Prof. Paul Dixon, St. Petersburg College FL, presenter)
"A wonderfully solid recital displaying great excitement and bravura....Mr. Enlow gave a thorough and beautifully moving performance of this gem [Franck, Fantaisie in A major]." (Prof. Russell Jackson, Cathedral of the Nativity, Bethlehem PA, presenter)
"A Masterful performance." (James Bagnall, Charlotte Hoyt Bagnall Scholarship, Simsbury CT, presenter)
"A beautifully conceived program...Bach's Fantasie & Fugue in G minor was played impeccably with a sense of grandeur and subtle nuance...Dupre's Cortege and Litanie possessed a lyricism throughout even when the rhythmic drive became the focus of the Litanie. Franck's Choral in A minor was poetic with an elegant sense of timing and phrasing." (William Trafka, St. Bartholomew's Church, New York City, presenter)
