NEW YORK CITY "Mr. Higgs' outstanding virtues are three: very secure finger work, an unusual sense of tempo that is at once buoyant and rock-steady, and an imaginative judgement of organ registrations that subtly exploits a wide range of effects but never insists on showing us the whole range within a single piece. Of these, the rhythmic security is perhaps most remarkable. One felt it immediately in the athletic flow of Bach's D Major Prelude."
The New York Times
BIRMINGHAM, AL "... A brilliant performance by David Higgs. Higgs's playing was crisp, bright and filled with surprises. His programming was eclectic – in turns fun and whimsical, and serious and searching. In between pieces, Higgs, who chairs the organ department at the Eastman School of Music, offered accessible, engaging commentary."
The Birmingham News
DENVER (National Convention, American Guild of Organists) "David Higgs played a stunning recital … He played the Reubke with an effortless demeanor, shaping lyrical phrases with a subtle rubato and providing a fiendish drive to the difficult manual figurations and scale passages."
The American Organist
