"... an 1851 Erard is revelatory....there is a brilliance and bell-like clarity in the upper registers...each note registering with a definition unavailable to the modern piano...the music does indeed emerge like an old master painting restored to pristine condition."

"Playing on David Winston's copy of an 1823 Brodmann - an instrument I crave like I have craved nothing else ...notes emerged from the misty orchestral pianissimi like a thread of rosy seed-pearls: clean, cool, unique and sweet....this was a performance that transfixed both audience and orchestra....A generous, rapt, exciting embodiment of a rare sound-world...."
