Transfigured Nights

Transfigured Nights
Inon Barnatan, piano
Sergey Khachatryan, violin
Alisa Weilerstein, cello
Colin Currie, percussion

“Barnatan is one of the finest musicians…You don’t notice his fingerwork, you simply immerse yourself in the sound he produces…and you know that there are no technical limits to what he can do.”
-The Pianist

“As soon as Mr. Khachatryan began the opening Allemande, you could sense how intently the audience began listening, as he achieved the all-too-uncommon feat of seducing a rustling, coughing crowd into silence.”
-The New York Times

“Weilerstein…produced a consistently lavish tone and demonstrated remarkably assured technical facility…With nearly flawless passagework and intonation, the cellist provided some pretty thrilling playing.”
-Chicago Tribune

“Colin Currie is a musician first and a percussionist second...The instruments were played with a wonderful range of touch...A marvellous concert…”
-The Telegraph [UK]
