Daniel made his Canadian Debut on the 4th of June 2006 with the Bach Goldberg Variations which were featured in the Boris Brott Summer Festival in Burlington, near Toronto.

Boris Brott to Daniel Propper:
"Dear Daniel : Your performance of Bach's Goldberg Variations at our Festival last week was truly magical. All those who attended felt like they were not just at a concert but an event of great magnitude and illumination. They rose to their feet after listening for almost 2 hours (including speeches!). You bring a subtelty, and a depth to your interpretations that, while being wholly your own, DOES remind me of Glenn Gould. Most impressive to me is the palette of changing coulours in your playing and your ability to bring out lines in the music keeping the listener allways in touch with the musical material and its changing face in the polyphony. I was impressed and look forward to the opportunity to make music with you as soloists with an orchestra - I hope soon. I will do all I can to spread the word. Warmest best wishes, Boris. Montreal/Hamilton (Canada) June 8th 2006."
