"in the first half.... Sgouros performed Beethoven's "Variations and Fugue in E-flat Major Op 35" and Chopin's "Ballade No 4" and is as much fun to watch as he is to hear.  His hand technique led to flourishes, and in basketball terms, you would say he has a mean crossover move.... Deadline kept a reporter from hearing the entire performance, which was to conclude with selections including Liszt's "Venezia e Napoli" and pieces from Faust and Verdi.  If they were as strong as the first set, the audience got more than its money's worth."

 "What is extraordinary is the youngster's emotional depth. He plays with the sensitivity and nuances of a mature artist. Performers three and four times his age lack the emotional scope and feeling that Sgouros brings to whatever he plays."
