David Fray, a talented young French pianist, has been compared to Glenn Gould for his star appeal and his love of Bach. Voted 2008 “Newcomer of the year” by BBC Music Magazine and hailed as a charismatic new talent, he brings his energy and youth to Mahler 5 and his intelligence, accuracy and warmth to Mozart’s Piano Concerto 20 in D-Minor. Our own music critic Michael White has described Fray as “special”.
