- Dal informace:
“As someone who has never been to a music college, done my diploma in piano playing or participated in any competitions, I feel particularly blessed to have been able to choose to learn pieces of music for the simple reason that I absolutely love them. I have never been forced to slave for hours over a piece of music that doesn’t make my skin crawl with pleasure or raise my heartbeat to almost viagra-induced levels. This CD is a perfect example of me as a musician and piano-fanatic choosing works that for as long as I can remember have blown my mind.”
James Rhodes

“He obviously loves the big-boned majesty of Busoni’s transcription of Bach’s Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in C BWV 564, and brings a wildly emotional, personal insight into both Beethoven’s Sonata No 30 in E opus 10-9 and Bach’s Partita No 6 in E minor BWV 830 … fresh, vital and undeniably exciting.”
The Observer
“… an innovative and imaginative musician of real talent … his best playing here is the Bach Partita, outstanding in every way - lightly pedalled, lucidly voiced, with a lithe, rhythmic buoyancy and deeply expressive Sarabande.”
