A frequent collaborator with Yo-Yo Ma, Albright is an official Steinway Artist, Avery Fisher Grant Recipient, Gilmore Young Artist and former Young Concert Artist.

The New York Times hailed Charlie’s “jaw-dropping technique” and “virtuosity meshed with a distinctive musicality throughout” -review of his March 8, 2011 Merkin Hall Debut in New York City.

The Washington Post declared that “Albright is among the most gifted musicians of his generation” in a review of his debut at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on February 14, 2011. 

 The Philadelphia Inquirer published that “his personality was evident in his way of shaping a phrase with a kind of extravagance that had showmanship but never felt cheap. With a fresh, clean, crystalline sound, he played with a kind of ease and smoothness that refuses to airbrush the music, but animates it from within. [He] brought the art of classical-music improvisation to a new level.” Albright lives in New York City.
