Ulrich Roman Murtfeld demonstrates a superb playing at Castle Waldthausen / Budenheim near Mainz
"When Ulrich Roman Murtfeld sits at the piano at no point does he loose the overview over the evolvement of the musical piece. Even when he devotes himself completely to one specific passage, the overall structure remains recognizable, everything seems to be clearly thought out....
Murtfeld's ability to highlight the musical architecture of a piece stands out expecially during his interpretation of a gigantic expressive work like Beethoven's "Waldstein" Sonata. The right and the left hand seem to operate completely independently from one another... Hence the impression is strengthened that several voices are conducting a dialogue with each other."
