On July 28th he performed Edison Denisov’s ‘Des ténèbres à la lumière’ as a solo accordionist. Both performances were very well acclaimed by the public with standing ovations. When he performed Denisov, the world famous string quartets Enesco Quartet and Danel Quartet were playing in the same concert. |
