Awards and reviews

August 2015

He is a natural musician, and there are moments in his performance of Beethoven's Diabelli Variations, particularly in the more intimate numbers, where his gift for bringing out the variegated layers of the music's textures serves him well.

From its bounding, swinging theme onwards, this Diabelli is a wonderfully fresh, effervescent sequence of variations...Speeds are on the fast side: you sense Beethoven pushing at the bounds of logic with van Bloss following him all the way to the edge.
