Dominic Piers Smith

Dominic creates an atmospheric aura of wistful introspection with unfussy phrasing and a singing tone... I salute this exceptionally gifted part-timer!

Though he can unleash tsunamis of sound it's never at the expense of a beautiful tone (he has, indeed, a quite exceptional grasp of pianistic colour). His palette, while always idiomatic, is essentially orchestral in character. He is a painter, not a jeweller, though he is capable, too, of great delicacy....
