(Daniel Fernandez, El Nuevo Herald), "...exquisite...subtlety and grace...fire and brimstone...rare depth and substance...introspective... exhilarating!" (Pat Leitch, Coral Gables Gazette), "Aleksander gave a staggering display of his powers at the keyboard" (Artsmart, Durban, South Africa),),"...one of the largeest pianists of his generation..." (Ruch Muzyczny, Warsaw, Poland), "...Aleksander gave a staggering display of his powers at the keyboard. These are among the most difficult piano pieces ever written...
