 Review of final round of the 2009 International
Schnitger Organ Competition in Holland:
“All three [finalists] respond with individual musicality to the challenge of the final round, but there’s a clear winner of this round, whose interpretation, technical ability and strength of communication are unequivocal. Canadian Michael Unger delivers by far the most convincing performance of the evening and wins [2nd prize and] the audience prize.”
