"There is an intimacy about Wilcher's style that defies criticism. How can you criticize beauty?"
Mike Smith, Fine Music, 2MBS-FM
"Whether he wishes to transport the listener to a cafe in Paris or to the top of a mountain in Java, his skillful use of harmony, rhythm and tempi creates the perfect atmosphere."
Dr. Jeanell Carrigan, pianist
"Phillip Wilcher's music dreamily evokes another time, another place. It has a searching quality that conjures up images of the great Romantic composers. Phillip wrote a recital for me, which I hope to present soon. Included in that are the "Etudes Tedeschi" which have all the flavour and technical imagination of similar great works in the piano repertoire. I am proud to watch the evolution of this musician and composer who I count as a great personal friend."
Simon Tedeschi, pianist.
"The poetry of "Consolation" and "Continual Dew" reveals a melancholy unsurpassed by even Chopin."
Mike Smith, Fine Music, 2MBS-FM
"I believe this is a composer who is a unique creation - as if he belongs to another time, another world. No musician who plays his music comes away the same or feels unchanged by the experience."
Wendy Reid, Cultured Views, France
"I find great satisfaction in the fact that we - Australia - have one composer who can succeed in a medium of sensitivity in spite of the ugliness and violence predominating in so many countries."
Miriam Hyde, AO, OBE, HonDLitt, HonFMusA, MusBac (Hon)
"A composer highly skilled in his art and an example of Lisztian grandeur reborn."
Music Teacher Magazine
"Mr. Wilcher can say in less than two minutes, sometimes in fact, in less than one, what many composers take five minutes to say then still don't achieve their purpose."
Henry Howell, Music Teacher Magazine
I have joined Youtube to encourage and give back to others what has been given me all my life by musicians far greater than myself : the magic of believing.
My name is Phillip Wilcher and I am an Australian Composer/Musician. I would like to invite you to listen to my music. I hope you enjoy it! I would also like to take this opportunity of sincerely thanking each performer without whom I would not be able to share with others my cradle of dreams.
If music is a manifestation of the human
spirit and the spirit you manifest through
music is true to yourself, then what you
give out to the world through music is
what God gave you.
