dazzles with skill, style and taste… with all the
finesse and exuberance a listener could want” (Toronto

a cellist of great stature: the natural bowing, the rich,
deep sound, the total concentration, the interpretative
sense, he has it all.” (La Presse, Montréal).

of the Year” by the CBC and the Toronto Women’s
