Julius Drake, piano

Detailed tracks Atma Classique ACD2 2616

One of the best British song accompanists ever, Julius Drake's first solo CDis a personal record of his early years at the piano, reminding himself (any many of us who played the piano as children) of early favourites which many amateur pianists will have played.

His judgment and "touch", with perfectly conceived rhythm, rubato and balance, will be a model for many aspiring pianists and give huge pleasure within their families.

His notes are spot on what is needed, and the whole concept is realised to perfection.
