Success at the Schönberg Centre Vienna!

I never heard Schönberg played with so much elegance, “Schwung” – a favourite word of Sibelius which he often used in his diaries – and delicate touch.  Your whole recital was impressive – unobtrosively educational by erecting an arc from Bach to your great compatriot Eliasson, for whom Bach was “almost a god”, detecting almost jazzy passages in his early Disegno, and finally, both surprisingly and convincingly, linking Schönberg to sensual Scriabin – and whetting everbody´s appetite by playing some of your very own preludes.
