"Visible enthusiasm for playing, joyfully light with the bow and a cadenza that savours every note" "The audience was absolutely thrilled by the refined violin playing“

 

 

David Truslove, Classicalsource, 

"his Finale cadenza had control and eloquence, its strumming accompaniment […] impressively rendered, the closing pages glorious.“

"His commitment was abundant, so too his solid technique“

 

Ivan Hewett, Telegraph,

"He revelled in the physicality of the violin“

 

Udo Badelt, Der Tagesspiegel, 

"a shaman and storyteller with the violin“

 

Rohan Shotton, Bachtrack,
