Finland, Reviews, and Snow

Just got back from my first orchestral concerts in Europe...

and overall first concerts in Finland!  I performed with guest conductor Alpesh Chauhan and the Kymi Sinfonietta in Kotka and Kouvola, Finland.  Check out the photos, and more on my Facebook Page as well!

The concert was reviewed by the Kymen Sanomat, as well, which wrote that the "Piano virtuoso reached Chopin's essence." It continued that "the top-level piano virtuoso made the evening memorable." The review noted "the sound of the world and the structures the soloist Charlie Albright reached," how the "total immersion of the composer of the innermost continued to dream of a semi-sparkling Andante, which broke out in sublime Grande Polonaise," the "full splendor texture...in the hands of effortless virtuosity, which enlivened the rhythm...and sophisticated piano tone,"and the "rose-popping-like fireworks, where the virtuosity had no limits."
