NOTEWORTHY
IREVIEWS
"...His Rachmaninoff was often downright luxurious. In the more spacious of the six Moments Musicaux, Op. 16...his masterful coloring and caressing of every tune, chord and background swirl made for pianism that was delicious in its expansiveness and poise. His sweeping, fearless playing of the more muscular numbers made an exuberantly virtuosic contrast, yet his unfailing sense of polished contour ensured that nothing deteriorated into a mere keyboard rampage..." Steven Brown, Sun-Sentinel
"...What he plays is an invitation to listen...he has a wide sense of style, and ear for music, and a feeling for its poetry, both lyric and dramatic...his performance was remarkable for penetration and blazing technique..."
James Roos, The Miami Herald
