JOSEPH LONG, PIANO

	"Reminiscent of Lipatti . . . it takes a truly original musician to show one shadows one has not seen before, even in the most oft-played works . . . the entirety of Long’s performance made us do that very rare combination of things at a concert: feel and think" (HINDUSTAN TIMES)
Joseph Long is one of Scotland's finest concert pianists. His extensive musical knowledge and repertoire, built up over a period of well over thirty years of playing and teaching, embrace a vast canon of music from Bach to the present day. With past recitals, lecture-recitals and masterclasses in venues as diverse as the Edinburgh Society of Musicians, St.-Martin's-in-the-Fields in London, the Grand Hall of the Moscow Conservatoire, the Calcutta School of Music and the University of Almeria in Spain, Joseph has experience in catering to the needs of many types of audience.
"Long's sound quality is both beautiful and individual, and his sense of proportion, of timing, of dynamics, of light and shade are simply admirable" (EPTA UK)
