What Critics Are Saying
“Mr. Thibaudet played with impressive virtuosity; the audience began applauding before he had even finished... In these works and elsewhere, he performed with passion and color, while cleanly articulating the voices that emerge through the thickets of notes.”
—The New York Times
“Ms. Leonard brings a rich voice, a deceptively demure look and moments of poignant vulnerability…”
—The New York Times
