TALON SMITH ACCLAIMS: "Talon’s two utterly independent hands and acuity in rhythmic pointing stresses line over mass evoking memories of Josef Hoffman's 1937 legendary Golden Jubilee performance." GRAMOPHONE "Talon Smith's performance made shivers go down my spine. There is something mystical, mysterious in his reading of Chopin's music." POLISH RADIO ll Onsite parking is free.
