His world premiere performance of the Chihara re-orchestration of Chopin?s Piano Concerto No. 1 under the baton of Andreas Delfs and the Milwaukee Symphony was met with great critical attention and acclaim: His interplay with the orchestra showed rare poise and constant equilibrium whether at breakneck speed or while settling into accompaniment. With unleashed rapture and edge-of-the-seat energy, Wolfram possessed the romantic work entirely. - Westchester Journal News Wolfram's utter command of Chopin's still formidable piano part impressed, but not as much as his musical sensitivity...
