Jackiw has repeatedly impressed audiences with his unique combination of intellect, poetic sensitivity, and taken-for-granted technique.

By Thomas May

[Jackiw] could be a rock star. And he tears into Tchaikovsky like a rock star might if a rock star could. Jackiw's was a fascinating, impressive and often riveting performance. Jackiw made each phrase an individual and excitable event. There can't be much doubt that Jackiw's star will continue to rise.
