“The pianist seems to possess virtually limitless pianistic abilities. Tremendous energy and temperament coexist with a tender,
almost romantic expressiveness.”
"Pianista zdaje się dysponować nielimitowanymi możliwościami pianistycznymi.
Ogromna energia i temperament sąsiadują z czułą, wręcz romantyczną ekspresją."
prof. Katarzyna Popowa-Zydroń
