  • "Andrei is perhaps the most talented pianist we have every heard anywhere. He mesmerized the audience with his skill at the keyboard. Each of the four pieces Andrei played were spell binding in their complexity and skill required to play them. Even though they were "old favorites" he made them new to the ears."
