What do I like to listen to?
Bach's St. Matthew Passion. A wonderful tradition to play it every year. Mahler's Ninth Symphony No. 9, I played this when I was still a student at the Conservatory and experienced for the first time the power of the great symphonic repertoire. Finally, Beethoven's Triple Concerto. Great to have been able to record that with my own orchestra and piano trio for Challenge Records.
