Reviews

      "Alexei Bruni demonstrated the true meaning of technical virtuosity, while, at the same time, communicating a wide range of emotions and taking great joy in his sensitive interplay with his accompanist.

      "The audience appreciated the elegance of his playing in the Mozart; his virtuosity in the Weber; and the beauty of his cantabile in the Brahms.

      "At the end of the concert, the public was enthusiastic, and, after a storm of applause, enjoyed several encores executed with great passion and musicality by the Russian artists."
