Listening to René is standing on a beach, looking at the turbulent sea, a disk-jockey around, who plays in fast tempo: Chopin, Coltrane, Strawinsky or McCoy Tyner. His music is unconventional, modern, romantic. Before his stay in the States (LA of course?) René was one bit of talent, unartificial, uncut diamant; the spring of inspiration spread out a waterfall of piano music, for hours and hours, but unmannered. In the States the bit of talent was cut to brilliant inspiration streams through channels, directed to high level music. Improvised music makes a high demand to fellow musicians, record technicians and listeners. René has the power to make every one enthusiastic. This is a quality of giants, René is that great, just listen. Wouter Büchner
