Like Radu Lupu, Jarred Dunn is a ‘thinking’ pianist who knows how to place every note.

— LaScena Musicale (Montreal)

An unassuming air belied the depth and skill he exhibited…The audience listened in rapt attention to Szymanoski’s Preludes Op. 1, Chopin’s Ballade Op. 47, Schubert’s Sonata D. 664 and sparkling climax of Schumann’s Sonata Op. 11. The cheers when his fingers left the keys were just as loud as any hockey game.
