the greatest source of inspiration is always in the score; there is no need to look anywhere else
“I think a challenge for all pianists is the sheer amount of repertoire you encounter, and the number of notes entailed in playing most of it.”
#MeetTheArtist interview with pianist Michael Dussek
I think the biggest influences on my musical life were all these teachers who gave everything to their students and without whom I don’t think I would have fallen in love with music the way I did.
I try to keep things as varied as possible (for my own sake). It’s very important to me to present programmes that make sense as a whole, with some kind of logic, and which provide continuity to the listener. I mostly pick works that I feel very strongly about when it comes to performing: there are many works I love that do not love me back!
“I’m a huge fan of salon concerts. I love the intimacy of being in a small space with 20-50 audience members, sharing something immediate and tangible.”
