Simon Smith’s astounding debut recording features a kaleidoscope of piano works by Scottish composers James MacMillan and Stuart MacRae. Smith’s fluency in these contemporary pieces is exuberant and definitive, from subtle murmur to virtuosic flourish.
"Simon Smith is a phenomenal pianist... A strong, meaty recital, played with complete authority by a remarkable young musician" - The Herald
"I'm impressed with the way Simon Smith plays this piece - he brings an extraordinary energy to the first movement and a good deal of sensitivity and shape to the second, and I'm very glad his interpretation has been recorded here." - Stuart MacRae
