His performances have taken him from the stages of Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the Knitting Factory, to engagements in Moscow, London, Germany, and throughout Latin America, and have garnered him critical praise as "outstanding…his melodies phrased as if this were an old and cherished classic, his virtuosity supreme" (New York Times) and as a player of "dazzling proficiency" (American Record Guide).
