Cathy Giles

“’I’ve spent the last week or so listening to your recording of the Volkmar Andréae trios and I felt I must write to tell you how much I enjoy and appreciate your fantastic playing. To be honest I’ve rarely heard the piano played so exquisitely, such beautiful colour and tone, not to mention technically flawless. I’m really not being over the top. In fact I can’t find the words to express my huge admiration of your musicianship” Cathy GilesDirector, Bookaband
