“There is a fine-tuned sense of discipline underlying his free-spirited phrasing of four Chopin impromptus and in Poulenc's playful ‘Mouvements Perpetuels.' He shows a solid mastery of structural relationship in ‘Franck's Symphonic Variations (recorded in Moscow with Paul Freeman conducting the Russian State Orchestra). Disarming romanticism comes through in Faure's Nocturne in A-Flat. And virtuoso technique is on display in Franck's Prelude, Chorale and Fugue.”
“I was surprised in particular by the quality of touch...revealing the close influence of Cortot...This pianist is an artist with vast knowledge.”
