“Auffallend und besonders sympathisch war freilich, dass der junge Künstler keineswegs die virtuosen Seiten seiner Kunst hervorkehrte, sondern konsequent bei einer verhaltenen und subtilen, aber jederzeit souveränen Darbietungsweise verblieb. Das kam den anderen Werken des Programms sehr zugute.” Schreier, Josef-December 2019 Aachener Zeitung
