About this concert
„Ich hatte das Glück, Zeit mit Maik verbringen zu können, als er die ersten Schritte hin zu einer Meisterhaftigkeit machte, die ihn heute schon in Sekundenbruchteilen erkennbar macht. Die Besetzung auf diesem wundervollen Album unterstreicht seine besonderen Fähigkeiten noch mehr. Ob Sie es glauben oder nicht – ich freue mich, heute heimlich Dinge von ihm lernen zu können, in denen er mich inzwischen übertroffen hat. Weiter so!”
