Gilles Ledure, le patron de Flagey, on s’en doute, ne tarit pas d’éloges sur le pianiste argentin:

«Aujourd’hui, on a soit de grands virtuoses qui manquent de personnalité, soit des pianistes qui ont développé un regard très particulier sur tel ou tel type de répertoire. Mais Nelson, c’est autre chose. Dire Goerner aujourd’hui, c’est comme on disait Horowitz, Barenboim ou Brendel. Il est de ceux qui ne se trompent jamais, ou rarement. Il est de cette trempe-là, avec, de surcroît, une sincérité, une générosité et une absence totale de narcissis- me. J’attends avec impatience son Chopin, j’at- tends son Schubert et qu’il réalise les grandes pages du répertoire. C’est la marque des très grands.»

"on peut dire que son parcours sans fanfare médiatique n’a cessé d’être émaillé de succès sur les plus grandes scènes internationales, et cette reconnaissance elle ne tient qu’à son talent et à son engagement purement artistique"

“it can be said that his career without media fanfare has not ceased to be adorned with success on the greatest international stages, and this recognition is due only to his talent and pure artistic commitment."

"On admire la fraîcheur des mélodies, la fluidité des trilles, la virtuosité non démonstrative de la cadence. [....] Et toujours, Nelson Goerner fait chanter son instrument, soutenant ses phrases aussi bien (voire mieux) qu’un violoniste…”

"We admire the freshness of the melodies, the fluidity of his trills, the understated virtuosity of the cadence. [...] And always, Nelson Goerner makes his instrument sing, supporting the phrases as well (or even better) than a violinist..."

- Bachtrack, January 2019

“Sonorités caressantes de l’Allemande, dentelles dans la Corrente, Sarabande aux ornements perlés : Goerner, en maître orfèvre courbé sur le clavier, développe pour chaque pièce un propos lumineux.”

“Caressing sonorities in the Allemande, lace-like sounds in the Corrente, pearl-like details in the Sarabande: Goerner, the master goldsmith at the piano, presents each piece with its own luminosity.”

- Le Monde, June 2018

"Nelson Goerner, nunca vamos a cansarnos de repetirlo, es de esos pianistas que le gustaban a Edward Said porque reúne dos condiciones: la introversión más íntima y la mayor extroversión.”

“Nelson Goerner - we’re never going to tire of repeating it - was one of the preferred pianists of Edward Saïd because he brings together two states of being: the most intimate introversion and the greatest extroversion.”

- La Nacion, May 2018

"Pianiste stratosphérique et musicien purement génial, éminent chopinien, il joue d’ombres et de lumières […] Mais c’est incontestablement dans la section Debussy de son récital que le pianiste argentin atteint au sublime”

“A stratospheric pianist and a musician of pure genius, an eminent interpreter of Chopin, he plays with shadows and light [...] But it is undeniably in the Debussy section of his recital that the Argentine pianist touches the sublime”

"His phrasing results from the melodic lines, like a singer who is so moved by the music’s beauty that he loses himself in it. […] What Goerner achieved in the almost unplayable 28 Paganini Variations (Brahms) was impressive: keeping his distance from a vain display of superficial virtuosity, he concentrated on the musical meaning of every single variation, thereby turning the obstinate material into music, whether it was wild octave passages, light dances, or the nostalgic meditations of this unapproachable, complex ‘Brahms-edifice’."
