Writings

  • “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.”
