“Farkhad Khudyev put on a characteristically majestic, sweeping, intuitive performance.”
“Khudyev gave the sweeping, swoony nocturnal second movement extra altitude by bringing it down very, very quietly in places to add an element of contrast: as with the Khachaturian, his attention to detail was striking. Epic, lush and ultimately optimistic, it was a triumph in every sense of the word.”
