This young pianist sure can play – and his performances of Scriabin, Medtner and Rachmaninov are meltingly lovely. A little more sardonicism wouldn’t go amiss in the Prokofiev, however.

To get an immediate idea of what kind of pianist I was going to hear, I turned first to the final track, the Behr Rachmaninov Polka de WR. Here was elegance, charm, playfulness, clever voicing and an immaculate technique… I have rarely heard the melancholy of the first [Moment Musical] captured to such heartbreaking effect…This is as outstanding a recent debut recording as I can recall.
