The newest benefit cd of IPPNW is dedicated to the children of Tchernobyl. The live recording of the IPPNW-benefit-concert from October 1 in the Otto-Braun-Saal of the Statelibrary (Berlin) holds a masterful concertevent. Stars of the evening were the two young musicians Alban Gerhardt and Markus Groh... 
—Pizzicato, June 1998
 
Alban Gerhardt and Markus Groh surprise us on a third disc. The pianist impresses with a cleverly measured interpretation of the Klavierstücke op.118 by Brahms as well as the cellist Alban Gerhardt with a differenciated and beautifully sounding performance of the 6th Solosuite in D Major by Bach. Together both of them play the Arpeggione Sonata by Schubert. The result is a very sensitive and at the same time a concerto-like stile of music-making, which confirms the instrumental abilities of both instrumentalists. 
—Luxemburger Wort, January 1998
 
Two highly talented musicians, who not only won competitions but also proved themselves in many concerts in front of a large audience. Cellist Alban Gerhardt and pianist Markus Groh, both from Berlin.Their playing on the benefit cd for the 'doctors again a nuclear war' is enough for a first, overwhelming impression. They dive into the music of Schubert, Brahms and Bach, as if they were looking for sunken treasures, as if the wanted to find something which has been lost for a long time. Their adventure trip was not in vain.
