What have been the greatest challenges of your career so far?
- Taking the plunge in my early 20s and deciding after all to be a solo pianist.
- Maintaining the natural sense of British taste and reserve at the same as learning to be emotionally open, and keeping the balance between the two.
- Playing Bach.
- Standing in for Daniel Barenboim playing Bach.
What are the particular challenges/excitements of working with an orchestra/ensemble?
Exploring the characters of everyone one works with, and making the most of those characters, rather than going in with a fixed ideal and trying to make everyone fit in with it.
