The Mozart had lovely style and crisp fingerwork but I wondered if he knows the operas at all. The Debussy was technically well controlled (apart from the odd wrong notes) but the sound all through was German rather than French. The Tchaikovsky needs a greater sense of flow. There were far too many little stops so that the phrases became fragmented. He also needs to develop his octave playing.</p>
