FROM THE PRESS

"La deuxième partie du programme, toute entière consacrée à Debussy, nous révélait combien le pianiste irlandais s’inscrit déjà au rang des plus éminents debussystes, toutes générations confondues. Nous étions plusieurs, à l’issue du concert, à évoquer le souvenir d’Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, tant le raffinement du toucher de Finghin Collins, sa pénétrante justesse cernant les multiples facettes du génie debussyste, ne nous semblaient comparables à aucune référence, sinon à celle du mythique Italien".

"The second half of the programme, entirely devoted to Debussy, revealed that the Irish pianist is already one of the most eminent Debussy players of all time.  Many of us were reminded of Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, so much did the refinement of Finghin Collins' touch, his penetrating mind exploring the many facets of Debussy's genius, seem comparable to nobody, if not the mythical Italian."
