David Leisner – "He moved easily through the brisk passagework and sharp accenting of the Ginastera Sonata, and his approach to the work's many coloristic effects was remarkably fluent and free-spirited. In more lyrical music... he played with an affecting gracefulness and warmth."
– The New York Times
