"...an astonishing technique" TSO Press Release "It's unusual to find, in one so young, a monumental technique wed to such a powerful, incisive and informed musical intelligence. Darrett Zusko, the young Canadian pianist, is just such a musician. There's an earnestness and depth about his playing that rejects even the hint of the superficial in favor of substance. Imagine my delight, then, to hear him in concert, and particularly in Scriabin, to whose musical manor he was most certainly born. Indeed, his readings of the Ninth Sonata and the thorny Etude in thirds are phenomenal performances which leave no musical recess unexplored, while accounting for every idiosyncratic nuance this complex music demands. I can only imagine that, after listening to Zusko, his contemporaries can only look skyward, wondering why they should even bother learning these works. There is no question about it: young Zusko owns this repertoire, and much else besides. Here is an exceptionally gifted artist who can look forward, in due time, to a major international career no less impressive than his enormous talent."
