Fredrik Ullén, internationellt erkänd pianist och professor i kognitiv neurovetenskap vid Karolinska Institutet, får strålande kritik för sin inspelning av John Pickards pianokonsert.
Ledande musiktidskriften Gramophone skriver i sitt aprilnummer:
"John Pickard's coruscating concerto was premiered by Andreas Boyde in Dresden 2000. On this record Swedish virtuoso Fredrik Ullen sails through the formidable difficulties with amazing élan, supported expertly by his compatriots under Pickard's most eloquent champion on the podium. Balancing relentless rhythmic drive with darker lyrical introspection, this compelling three-panel work amazingly still awaits a British concert premiere."
Även Ulléns senaste skiva i serien med Sorabjis Transcendentala Etyder hyllas av recensenter.
