Reviews of new CD release:
[Bengtson] is certainly an artist to watch .. one of those pianists whose technique, though considerable, is not of the type that
draws attention to itself, but to the music. (Lynn Rene Bayley, Fanfare Magazine)
The rich multilayered sound to the Mendelssohn Variations ... puts this account of op. 54 over all the others I’ve ever heard,
including Brendel’s. (Brent Auerbach, American Record Guide)
Other recent recording releases:
Fortepiano recital of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, and a harpsichord recital of Byrd, Handel, Rameau and Bach,
available online at Arabesque Records.
