"Finghin Collins in the second [Liszt Piano Concerto No. 2] was freer in delivery and fuller in tone, with his climactic delivery sometimes sounding like an unstoppable force of nature. There was an attractive fluidity in quieter moments, too, and a sense of musical rightness in every gesture. Orchestra and conductor were with him every step of the way in this highly impressive performance"

Michael Dervan, The Irish Times, February 25th 2008
