"Musically at home... A stylistic assurance, a fleetness of finger, an awareness of tonal colour and dynamic gradations...Debussy was his kind of music, an identification that was convincingly maintained."

"It was fitting in his New York debut last night that the pianist should play all French music. The pianist's resource in programming was admirable (d'Indy Poem of the Mountains) and his performance did it justice. He is an able pianist with accurate fingers who produces an unusually round, full tone. The Fauré was played with fine clarity and fluidity."
                                                                   - The New York Times

"A player who really thinks and feels for himself. In everything he does there is the excitement of a real artistic talent at work. This type of colorful piano playing speaks of an imaginative and artistic approach seldom heard."
                                                                  - The Washington Post

                                                                - El Mercurio, Santiago

"The week-long Russian Music Festival opened Sunday with a thrilling, powerfully communicative performance of Mussoursky's Pictures at an Exhibition.
