    Saw his Wigmore livestream from a few weeks ago. Very average, uninspired playing. Don’t know who’s been injecting money into his PR.

    • Mark Mortimer says:

      A bit harsh ‘I Beg Your Pardon’. I saw it also & think he’s a very fine young pianist- who already plays with great sensitivity & high technical accomplishments. No doubt he will develop over the years & is worth the investment.

  • pjl says:

    His Rachmaninov 3 with LPO in Eastbourne was sensational: he is the real deal.

  • prionsarebad says:

    I was in the hall for this lunchtime recital and found it to be a wonderfully assured debut (as anyone can see for themselves on YouTube or hear for themselves on Radio 3).

    I look forward to seeing how Tom’s career continues to develop and will hopefully be able to catch one of these events on the award tour. Bravo & Congratulations, Tom!
