Llyr was selected by the Young Concert Artists Trust (2002), and won the MIDEM Classique 'Outstanding Young Artist Award in Partnership with IAMA' (2005) 'Williams has a rigorous and questing mind, a robust imagination, and a wonderfully open heart. Articulated in a formidable technique, these qualities find a creative balance which can make for revelatory music-making.' - Hilary Finch - The Times 'With slightly unnerving self-confidence - flawless fingers and a trick of eyeing the audience in mid-phrase - he revealed Schubert's A Major Sonata, D959, as a masterpiece that astonishingly combines an almost alpine spaciousness with a demonic and heartbreaking intensity.' - Paul Driver - Sunday Times |
