Wrote about Martin
The New York Times
“Mr. Kasik plays with a resourceful technique, fluidity, a keen sense of colour and intelligence.”
The Republican
“… elegant phrasing, touch and tone recalled those of the finest keyboard virtuosos like Artur Rubinstein and Kasik’s own countryman, the late Rudolf Firkusny, who was himself a champion of Dvorak’s Piano Concerto.”
