More comments / revies on Pathik:

" Here you feel at any moment that there is a HUMAN BEING playing, with total input, much fantasy,
fully alive and with great empathy for the work!!..." Werner Nänni, Hamburg, August 2010 

" ... For the first time we attended one of your concerts ... and we were deeply touched ...
vervy very beautiful!!!" M. H., Starnberg, June 16, 2008

"We were there, and it was wonderful, an uplifting concert, thank you again so much ..."
M.Z., June 16, 2008


'What a charmful evening you gave to your audience! ... An incredibly beautiful concert in a stunning surrounding ... It was the most beautiful recital I have heard in a long time.'
E.L., München, Oct. 2, 2006


'The pianist from Munich played ... and it seemed as if he sank into his music. Often he took his guests with him, and they opened their eyes again only when the last note from the splendid Steinway-piano
had faded.'
Haller Kreisblatt, Sept. 26, 2005

'Pathik - that is an indian name meaning as much as 'inner journey'. And indeed: if you look at the concert pianist, how he apperas to be sinking deeply into the music, one can assume why he choose this name.'
Westfalenblatt, Sept. 27, 2005
