“Extraordinary originality, superb simplicity, and fingers of steel behind muscles of velvet. He is an otherworldly young man- he plays with the genius one finds in those who know how to forget themselves, naturally placing themselves at the right point to meet the music, this mystery of the moment.” – Le Monde
