C o n c e r t s
"I LOVED your concert on Sunday evening. You are a superb pianist, with a technique so sure the listener quickly forgets about all the technical problems your very demanding program presents to a performer. In addition, you have wonderful sense of color.
But it was the poetic side of your peformance that really captivated me. I meant what I said when I called you a story-teller. As the program progressed, I realized I was hanging on your every note. I really wanted to hear what you had to say next.
If you’d like proof of your effect on the audience you may be amused to learn that I came straight home that evening and ordered a copy of the Debussy Preludes, to which I’ve given too little attention. They’re spectacular music and you ‘told us the music in a memorable way,’ to borrow Joel Krosnick’s wonderful phrase."
