"Astounding Mastery"

Zoran Dukic's recital at St Barnabas was breathtaking. When he played I never had a sense of the technical difficulty (which was considerable), only of the music and the musicianship. He has beautiful tones in a wide range of colours, astonishing dynamics always under control and communicated, even the very quietest. As an audience, we were literally stunned, and when he had done and the standing ovation was over, we sat down again and reflected that we had been present at a very special event.
