Audience comments:
"...awesome transcription..." - Jan Simacek (YouTube, Feb.25, 2015)
"Your transcription of Holst's The Planets from the original composition for two pianos to solo piano was phenomenal. I certainly hope it will become a standard for the solo piano repertoire." - Bob Perez, Pasadena, CA, Jan. 25, 2015
"...the Planets was astonishing." - Larry & Judy Ballenger, Pasadena, CA, Jan.11, 2015
"We loved your transcription of Holst's "Planets." I'm a scientist (applied mathematics) by profession and passion, and I have a very strong sense of beauty, elegance and harmony; and so your transcription and performance resonated very strongly and deeply with me from this perspective. Thanks again for a very memorable afternoon!" - Chris Reed, Los Angeles, CA, Jan.14, 2015
