“Modellato per un trio di pianoforte jazz, la musica di Rüttgers va ben oltre, riunendo influenze della musica classica, della tradizione musicale norvegese e della musica afroamericana.” – Windout (IT)
“‘Etudes of Shapes and Forms’ is een ronduit meesterlijk album van internationale allure.” – Jazzenzo (NL) – Cyriel Pluimakers
“Rüttgers’ compositions manage to match a sense of mystery with joyful excitement, and organic flow with strong structures….The improvisations highlight the rich and imaginative sonic palettes of Rüttgers” Salt Peanuts (NO) – Eyal Hareuveni
“Over heel de lijn en heel expressief excelleert zijn akoestisch pianotrio met uitstekende instrumentalisten: Thomas Pol op contrabas en Sun-Mi Hong op drums. Die onderlijnen voortreffelijk het abstracte en eigenzinnig lyrische pianospel van Philipp Rüttgers dat getuigt van een creatieve en persoonlijke visie op hedendaagse muziek, zowel klassiek als jazz. ” Jazzhalo (BE) – Bernard Lefévre
“Hij is een muzikale ontdekker die op onconventionele, verrassende manier muziek maakt en schrijft en daarmee slaat hij steeds opnieuw nieuwe muzikale wegen in.” Jan van Leersum – Rootstime (BE)
