"His performance cannot be forgotten. The pianist presented such impressive music, that is rarely heard. The fact that his playing is distinguished for virtuosity – is no doubt. Because that is the basis for transparent sounding of music by Debussy, Liszt, Chopin and Kreisler/Rachmaninoff. His performance was really transparent. The sounds of Sonata by Scarlatti sparkled like clear radiant water drops. The "Suite Bergamasque" by Debussy sounded as a canvass painted with clear bright colours."
