Critics call him a ’Young Paganini with laser sharp technique,’ and Yale Daily News hails this virtuostic ’polystylist and polymath…whose music embodies the spirit of the modern musical Renaissance man.’ Host Robert Sherman of WQXR’s Young Artist Showcase called Urbach ’the one to watch for the future…a brilliant performer.’
