His playing is in a rare class - one that has a vacancy since Radu Lupus retirement. This type of sensitivity and emotional intuition does not grow on trees, especially not when served by such a technique, with richly singing tone and delicate fleetness of finger./p> p>Moreover, theres high finesse in his control of nuance and ability to create subtle, intense atmospheres(the Raindrop Prelude is truly special). The radical contrasts between preludes emerge strongly, but with logic, as if one idea grows naturally out of the last; and nothing is hurried, the pianist taking time to allow the sound and its shaping to make its impact. The Brahms is hushed and almost sinister; and the mysterious voices within the fragile Ghost Variations are replete with compassion.

The E minor prelude is a mini-tone poem; the F-sharp minor, Molto agitato, melts into something luminous. Brahms beautiful Intermezzo leads naturally to the Schumann (both in E-flat).

His playing is in a rare class - one that has a vacancy since Radu Lupus retirement. This type of sensitivity and emotional intuition does not grow on trees, especially not when served by such a technique, with richly singing tone and delicate fleetness of finger./p> p>Moreover, theres high finesse in his control of nuance and ability to create subtle, intense atmospheres(the Raindrop Prelude is truly special). The radical contrasts between preludes emerge strongly, but with logic, as if one idea grows naturally out of the last; and nothing is hurried, the pianist taking time to allow the sound and its shaping to make its impact. The Brahms is hushed and almost sinister; and the mysterious voices within the fragile Ghost Variations are replete with compassion.
