‘One of today’s most impeccably musical pianists’, wrote International Piano of Leon McCawley at the beginning of this year. Of his complete Mozart recording of Mozart’s piano sonatas, Metro commented: ‘Here is playing of the highest calibre that is both insightful and unshowy, and which combines muscularity and delicacy – all-important ingredients for a successful Mozart performance.’ The Viennese classics continue to form a central part of both the live and the recorded repertoire of the Wigmore Artist in Residence. Reviewing a recent instalment of his Haydn series, Gramophone described Leon McCawley as ‘a thoughtful, keenly intelligent artist in peak form, who brings a wealth of pianistic resources to this incomparable music’.
