Overview

The British pianist won the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition in 2014 and the following year went on to make his Proms debut playing Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. A number of the works in his programme – Bach transcriptions by Busoni and Myra Hess, together with the Wagner/Liszt Liebestod – form part of his first disc for Warner Classics, which The Observer considered ‘ambitious repertoire, thoughtfully and eloquently played […] a striking debut’.
