I unfortunately was not able to be present as I am in Italy for Kissin tomorrow together with the final of the International Piano Competition that Yuanfan Yang won last year.
However my esteemed colleagues were at the concert and here are some of their comments:
”Tremendous technique with beautiful sound and many colours.A thorough control of the instrument and balanced musicality…-.he should go far” Elena Vorotko
”Such a wonderful technique that some times if he could control his faster tempi it could be better related to the character of the music.”Noretta Conci-Leech
