Stephen Grew writes – “I’ve always loved the reality of an empty canvas. To be confronted by what seems at first like nothing, this by comparison is like the stark piano keys and its voice inside the box! With its dormant, silent strings and hammers intact, to finally depress the keys to uncover an unknown sound world which finally comes into play.”
Dynamism, clarity and precise beauty in the playing. A wonderful recording engineered by Charlie McGovern in a dramatic acoustic space. Prepare to add this glorious, magnificent release to your favourite solo piano records.
