SPONTANEOUS NOTES FALLING LIKE TECHNICAL PEARLS IN GLORIOUS ORCHESTRATIONKenn Gartner offers the music of Carl Maria von WeberVictorian Englander House – November 11, 2006Only someone who is at ease with gargantuan technique can play [the] Konzertstück in F minor, Op. 79, by Carl Maria von Weber.  Welcome to the world of Kenn Gartner.  Along with the San Francisco Concerto Orchestra and under the baton of conductor Geoffrey Gallegos, Gartner performed [the] Konzertstück for his Saturday audience at Victorian Englander House.  The piece is interesting, requiring streams of cluster chord madness and delicate, seemingly spontaneous notes.  At times, the orchestra and piano appear to splash through waves of fire.  It is a long piece, a precise piece, an abstract romantic–-not always easy to hear, but fascinating to watch and [his] performance on piano was groundbreaking. ~Jean Bartlett for San Francisco Virtuoso
