Following the performance of Dreamworld Suite at Carnegie Hall, Vlad received an outstanding review from New York Concert Review, recognizing both his pianistic artistry and compositional voice. In his review, critic Matei Varga praised both Vlad’s pianistic artistry and compositional voice, describing Dreamworld Suite as one of the most memorable moments of the evening and highlighting its originality, emotional depth, and imaginative sound world.
The critic wrote:
“In one of the evening’s most memorable moments, pianist Vladislav Kern achieved the almost impossible — he introduced us to one of his own works, Dreamworld Suite, which not only would I want to listen to again and again, but as a pianist myself I would absolutely love to learn and introduce to more audiences throughout the world. In his composition, Mr. Kern creates a magical sound world in which both performer and listener can dream together. A superb pianist as well as an immensely talented composer, he blends melody, harmony and rhythm in a way that is at once fully original and universally relatable, without copying any previous style. As the piece came to an end, I thought to myself: this is the kind of new music we need in order for classical music to survive and thrive in this century.”
This review marked an important recognition of Vlad’s emerging compositional voice, affirming his artistic vision and his ongoing exploration of new musical forms through Fragmentalism.
