When I was in High School, I learned the Concord Sonata, and here is what it sounded like.
Timothy Andres’s playing of (the sonata) was mature, accurate, and imaginative. It seized you immediately, and didn’t let go until it was over. He’s an extraordinary musical talent. It was the best performance of the Concord I ever heard.” — Richard Dyer
