[Vadim Chaimovich] presented an elegantly harmonized programme, spanning a wide musical range from Haydn over Beethoven and Chopin to Rachmaninoff. The two-movement Haydn sonata no. 41 in B flat Major performed in a relaxed and playful manner was a promising lead up. However, it was in the following two early Beethoven sonatas op. 14 that the pianist revealed his distinct conceptional intentions.

The hearers were captivated by the tonal noble-mindedness, emphatic voicing and poetic storytelling. The three preludes by Sergey Rachmaninoff were a test to the young pianist's virtuosity - his performance was technically brilliant, marked by characteristic playful lightness and elegance.
