“I have to say, Mark’s playing took me completely by surprise. I’ve heard countless pianists over the years, yet there is something truly remarkable about the way he plays. The precision and control are there, of course, but it’s his expressiveness that really caught me. He doesn’t just play the notes; he brings them to life, giving each phrase an emotion and depth that’s rare to find. The elegance in his touch, the way he shapes each melody—it’s captivating, as if the piano itself has a voice and a story to tell. He makes complex passages seem effortless, and at times, I’ll forget I am listening to a single instrument; it’s as if a whole orchestra flows through him and out of the keys. Mark is virtuoso in every sense of the word.”
