The evening’s undisputed star was Barnatan… From barely audible, feathery trills to heaven-storming thunderbolts, Barnatan orchestrated every phrase with sovereign mastery… fine music-making wedded to astounding technique.

The Washington Post

“A breathtaking charisma that comes from gorgeously turned out technique, a masterly sense of color, and an expressiveness that can question, weep, or shout joy from the rooftops.”

Philadelphia Inquirer
