In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. While studying piano with Mildred Kenton at the Royal Conservatory of Music (University of Toronto), I visited the music library, where I found the complete Kempff recordings of all 32 Beethoven Sonatas, leaving a life-long impression on me.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Arthur Rubinstein, Chopin: Nocturnes Glenn Gould, Bach: Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 (The 1955 & 1981 Recordings) Wilhelm Kempff, Wilhelm Kempff Plays Beethoven: Vol. II, Piano Sonatas Chopin's Nocturnes (which I have recorded), are very special to me, and Rubinstein's performances are incredible. Kemff does the best "old-school" Beethoven, and I have a special connection to Gould when it comes to Bach - sharing similar teachers.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Ballade No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 23” When I was ready to record my first Chopin album, my piano teacher introduced me to the Ballade 1 in G Minor, Opus 23. I studied the Ballade with Mildred Kenton, Andrew Burashko and Antonín Kubálek, quickly becoming my favourite Chopin composition.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? For my first Chopin album, I performed with string quartets featuring musicians from the TSO. I also had the opportunity to record several Bach and other major piano concertos with a full orchestra - an unforgettable experience in my musical journey.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? after 46 albums spanning the great Piano repertoire - works by Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, Satie, Liszt, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, Schumann, Grieg, Medelssohn and others, I intend to complete various concerto cycles, and do more music for movies.
