As a musician, what is your definition of success?
I believe the role of a musician is in many ways akin to an interpreter. The piano is a monumental instrument, as Kathryn Stott once mentioned to me, and we are blessed with the ever growing huge canon of repertoire – solo, concerto and chamber. And we have and hopefully will always continue to have an audience! So my job is simply to interpret these genius works of art to convey each composer’s brilliance in a way that feels intrinsic and communicative; to take the audience on an enriching journey which experiences God’s gift of music to composers behind the creative process is success.
