-New York Concert Review-
“Winskas took Wigmore Hall into a whirlwind of admiration... Chopin's Sonata No. 3, a breathtaking virtuosity in the final gallop, and an electrifying coda... a glorious F major In the coda of , Winskas displays an astonishing dexterity that brings this great work to its thrilling conclusion... in a performance so accomplished and spiritually mature, this so refined It is a great pleasure to be able to listen to the Brahms work that has been performed.”

Casparus wins Kas. A young Lithuanian Vianist will give a recital on June 22nd at The Phoenix Hall in Osaka. An old acquaintance of mine, a music manager in Osaka, decided to help out, and sent me a DVD. The Berlin debut live was realized at the Philharmonic Chamber Music Hall on March 30, 2008. The audience, which could not be said to be full, first listened to the neat appearance of Haydn's sonata, the tight tone, Chopin's gracefulness, and Lithuanian works (three short pieces from Baris Dvalionas' Winter Sketches). ), and rushed into the frenzy of the final Rachmaninoff's Second Sonata. In the Japan tour, we will arrange masterpieces of Brahms, Chopin, Debussy, and finally play Rachmaninoff's sonata. Six years have passed since the Berlin concert, and he must have further refined his performances by conducting unique music education programs for high school students and directing music festivals in his home country. He's handsome, but the way he wrinkles his eyebrows as he plays is quite sincere and artist-like, and it matches the tendencies of his performances, which gives me a favorable impression.
