Steven Isserlis and Jeremy Denk at the 92nd Street Y
The New York Times, December 13, 2010

Needless to say, and unsurprisingly, this was terrific: a perfect example of two intelligent, inquisitive artists finding common ground in a recital that covered a lot of unfamiliar and worthwhile territory. Erin Baiano's terrific photograph brilliantly captures the energy and enthusiasm Isserlis projected throughout the concert; Denk, though sedate at this particular moment, was similarly effusive, especially during the Ligeti études he spontaneously added to the program in lieu of Liszt. Mark your calendars now: Denk will be playing the first two books of Ligeti's dazzling études along with Bach's "Goldberg" Variations at Zankel Hall on February 16.
