"Kobyliński can work magic with the piano. He lets it sing, blossom, he can make it sound in all nuances. He dives into meditation, hymnic and emotional modes, he is not afraid of minimalism. With Jarrett's lightness, he combines Mozart's vivacity with Chopin's pensiveness or even medieval sacred music. He is a supreme melodist, his playing is saturated with deep lyricism, soaring joy, but also urgent or fearce."
