Review: “Striking clarity (Bach). . .Exquisitely sultry playing (Albeniz). . .It was playing always musical, always intelligent, and panoramic in scope. There was no question of technique, really; the fire and fury consumed everything in sight. For doing things in his own way, he has few peers.” Los Angeles Times
Manhattan School of Music Precollege faculty since 1982.
