“His technically brilliant and musically unusually impressive playing had the listeners in awe. Bravos echoed as the artist was repeatedly called forth.” (Uusi Suometar, 28.2.1911) When the HPO performed Rachmaninov’s Second Piano Concerto for the first time, the composer himself was the soloist. Now it is performed by Roman Borisov, who has a long list of competition wins in his pocket for good reason.
