I don't think so. Nope, justr checked with Baker's: born 1961, won the
1st Terence Judd award 1982 and the Naumberg competition in 1983.
His recording of Hummel piano concertos won a Gramophone award years ago,
1987? He has a phenomenal technique and a penetrating intellect. His two
Liszt discs on Virgin are wonderful as is his recording of music by York
Bowen, to mention just a couple (or 3).
