Reviews

"Martin Leung, a pianist who gained fame on YouTube, brought down the house with his signature blindfolded performance of the theme from Super Mario Brothers." -Seth Schiesel, The New York Times

"…a brilliant pianist…" - Leo Cotterell, The Times (United Kingdom)

"Pianist Martin Leung totally rocks the house." - Chris Kohler, Wired

"The concert also included a performance by pianist Martin Leung..." - Grace Jean, The Washington Post

"There were a couple of piano solos by Internet pioneer Martin Leung that garnered some of the loudest cheers." - Scott Iwasaki, Deseret News

"Martin Leung, the “video game pianist” famous for a blindfolded medley of “Mario”
tunes..." - Julio Ojeda-Zapata, Twin Cities

"Nowhere were the contrasting motifs of video-game music more evident than the transition from jubilant -- and blindfolded -- Internet sensation Martin Leung's buoyant rendition of the theme to "Super Mario Brothers" to his later knockout performance of the emotional "Final Fantasy" theme, a layered symphony in itself." - Michael J. Pollack, The Westfield Leader
