"Mr Nyiro impressed me as a very deep, thoughtful and serious musician.
He is a musician who is not satisfied with a mere text of the
composition he is learning, but as a pianist who immerses himself deep
into the research of the composers ideas and intent. Mr Nyiro is a
technically advanced and with the skills of the virtuoso." - O.
