Wow, What a fantastic performance!!!!

[biegel88]

Very nicely done, and some lovely sensitive spots amidst the fire and brilliance. I remember in my other house during your lessons with me, I got you fired up and told you to play with more fire and intensity in addition to the softer playing--well, your playing has matured and has a wide range of sound now and this is very personal and your own way with the piece. I appreciate that you play this with good rhythm and color as opposed to the tendency to play it too fast and loud. Bravo!

Dearest Sandro, it is such an extreme pleasure

and privilege to see a wonderful and recent

performance. Those of us who know your

Dance Macabre tour-de-force can't help but

think of you at this time of year! : ) How lovely

to have a tour-de-force du jour in this piece!

Warmest affection and regards from Florida,

The intermediate part is incredibly romantic and expressive and then it reaches its climax! What a brilliant and spectacular performance!!!! Bravissimo!!!!

Beautifully nuanced in time and tone.  I heard subtleties that are submerged in other performances.
