"Abas is now one of the most refined and interesting pianists of our generation. His real intent is to rejuvenate and to stretch the horizons with strong intent and competence. His playing is the perfect marriage of exuberant musicality restrained with the right dose of rationalism that is rich with colors and shades. His palette shines in all his splendor of his captivating performance of Chopin and Schumann."
