"Dénes Várjon gave a staggering performance of Beethoven’s difficult Hammerklavier Sonata to open his solo recital; he met not only the virtuosic demands but the emotional, intellectual and musical ones, making total sense of the complexities and maintaining marvelous momentum. He also played Suite Opus 14 by Bartók, a composer he reveres as a Hungarian, and Beethoven’s last piano sonata Opus 111, again making total sense of a magical work. The audience was ecstatic." ~ Reviewer Elizabeth Kerr on Upbeat
