"Greatness can be difficult to define but its presence is also tangible. In Simon Tedeschi's recital...there was no doubting that greatness. The music...all of it technically daunting, seemed to flow,unimpeded, through the fingers of this extraordinary, 18 year old Sydney pianist. When I last heard (this piece of music) in a concert, that pianist made everything sound terribly difficult (which the music is). With Tedeschi it all danced and glittered...brilliant and technically daunting, in this performance it was dazzling...Tedeschi never overdid his treatment...he had the measure of music in every respect. Tedeschi played it with tact and poise, all the more remarkable after the virtuosity of the two redoubtable memorial fantasies...It was a triumph for Tedeschi...Was it wild? Yes, but formidably disciplined too - an exhilarating piece played with breathless flair, for a breathless audience. True greatness.""
