  3. It really was very special, de conductor 26 years, Rafal 27, and Beethoven was about 27 when he finished this concert....There are no words for such beautiful sound, the orchestra too and ofcourse Rafal played very very beautiful, we were deeply moved special by the second part, romantic melancholic,beautiful soft piano
    playing..

  4. I didn't know about Lionel Bringuier before his collaboration with Rafał but it seems he is a very good conductor. Youth is a talent not replaceable, full of inspiration, purifying, moving...
