"Lisiecki’s lyrical patience allowed the piano’s cantabile to float above the muted strings ... The orchestra matched him with crisp articulation, their partnership taut yet playful ... a collaborative reading, thoughtful in conception and eloquent in execution." - Edward Sava-Segal (Seen and Heard)
