"With a programme of Byrd, Bach and Ligeti, and using two very different instruments, he shed light both on the harpsichord’s first heyday and on its second as 1970s avant-gardists awoke to its unique possibilities. And if this Iranian-American has carved out a niche as his instrument’s leading champion – his harpsichord Prom in 2011 was the first in that institution’s history – his success is founded on remarkable artistry. The Ligeti pieces were off-the-wall, and that was how he played them…"-- Michael Church, International Piano Magazine.
