“What matters is not what he can do, for this is only the beginning. What matters is how many ideas occur to him and how much he can demand of the music and of himself. In short, he is an artist who must be taken seriously, a hugely talented pianist who radiates an extraordinary fascination. In a word, he is exciting.” - JOACHIM KAISER

“I am the most written-about pianist in the world. I get a review when I dust my piano” - IVO POGORELICH
