Ilya Poletaev, fortepiano
“An expert harpsichordist, [Poletaev] played Bach on the piano as well as any I have heard. The Allemande in the Partita No. 4 in D Major, BWV 828 … was an apotheosis of the spiritual dance. This pianist can play with a kind of lightness that makes the piano an old instrument. All that he played was deeply considered. There was nothing there to provide a cheap thrill. His intelligence was luminous.”
– Keith Kibler, The Berkshire Eagle
