"Marvin is a great Floridian and an accomplished pianist. He is a man of faith and his beliefs are conveyed through his performances. The First Lady and I are avid fans of Marvin and his music."

"Marvin Goldstein can play beautiful things on the piano. He is able, with his magnificent talent, to play any and all music for any and all groups. Marvin is one of the most seasoned and accomplished performers on the planet. He is a world-class talent with a lot to spare."

Orrin Hatch

"This first in a three-volume set of popular love songs and show tunes should please the easy listener. The album is a departure from his usual faith-centered interpretations, and the gamble pays off. In his characteristic style, Marvin proves his astounding talent without sounding pompous or flashy. He manipulates the keys to add a personal dose to each song. The pianist tackles mega-hits and blockbusters including "Unchained Melody," "Music of the Night," "Somewhere Out There," "The Greatest Love of All," "Memory" and others. Marvin doesn't need any accompaniment; he can do it all himself."

Marvin Goldstein, Pianist, Vol. 1

"Goldstein plays with a soft, light touch, at the same time capturing emotion and adding richness to the music. The songs flow with seemingly effortless technique and style, with lyrical and melodic interpretations that soothe and scintillate…

The love songs here are well-chosen, the mix of genres adds interest and the overall compilation provides a comprehensive look at how this emotion has been interpreted through the years. Goldstein's own "You Are My Inspiration" fits right in."

“ New set has songs for lovers”

"Marvin Goldstein proves his virtuosity by enhancing well-known pop hits in this collection. Although he attracts listeners across the demographic spectrum, this series offers particular appeal to those who hold a special place in their hearts for soft rock and theme music of the '70s through early '90s. The number of adult contemporary hits come from film scores and TV series with a personalized touch. Goldstein must concoct medleys in his sleep; he blends songs with such ease. His style is only flashy in its lightning speed, which he combines with adequate resting places. "Volume 3" goes well with a quiet evening and candlelight dinner."

Marvin Goldstein, Pianist, Vol. 3

BILLY DEAN, THURL BAILEY, MARVIN GOLDSTEIN, Sandy Amphitheater, Saturday.

"… as the three proved Saturday, you don't have to look alike or be alike to make harmonious music together. They each brought something very different to the stage, but their differences tripled the impact, rather than dividing it…

Bailey and Dean, both with rich, strong voices, created sweet harmony, and Goldstein's flying fingers added a perfect complement on the piano. The entertainers were clearly having as much fun as the audience..."
