Palka (…) impresses as a refined soloist, contributes contemporary sounding compositions, (…) slow-burning, powerfully emotive (…). [He] strikes a fine balance between form and freedom.
Palka’s classically-infused minimalism colors [the piece ,,Spring is coming’’]. It’s the pianist’s impressionist, gently lyrical caress however, that really stands out on this delicate closing statement.
