His most recent world recital tour, featuring works by Alexander Scriabin in commemoration of the composer's 100th memorial anniversary, included an appearance at Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall. The New York Concert Review called it "indeed a 'poem of ecstasy' in every sense: giant in conception, quantity, quality, execution, thoughtfulness and sensitivity."
