“But the sound. Pratt’s everywhere rich voicings came off even in level across the hands and the fingers, with little melody-leading, enriched further by rapid flutter of the sustain pedal. Big hesitations and silences likewise expressed riches. An enormous dynamic range encompassed grave quiet to immense thunder”

“Cellist Zuill Bailey has a charismatic approach that’s hard to ignore. His sheer technicality heightens his artistry beyond the realm of just passable influence. He adores the cello because it’s the only instrument that you play rested against your heart.”
