Readers' reviews: Aug. 14 SummerFest Aug 18, 2010
E.g., a concert featuring the juvenile symphonies of Mozart or early Schubert quartets wont offer polished masterworks, but can provide rewarding glimpses of the glories to come and, perhaps, a better understanding of directions not taken. Saturdays concert featuring Chopins three cello and piano duos and his lone piano trio amply rewarded this approach. (San Diego Union-Tribune)

Virtuosic pianist Jean-Michel Pilc finds success by following intuition Jul 25, 2010
On his recent album True Story (Dreyfus Jazz), a crackling trio session with bassist Boris Kozlov and drummer Billy Hart, Pilc focuses on his lyrical originals, though he also offers a translucent arrangement of Franz Schubert s Relic, and an unabashedly dramatic version of the pop tune Try to Remember, a song he learned from Belafonte. Reluctant to articulate a bandstand philosophy, he turns each project into a manifesto for intrepid improvisers willing to lose themselves in the music. (Boston Globe)
