A most enjoyable programme, superbly played by Thomas Trotter! Thomas's stylish playing and great musicianship is vividly captured on DVD. Amazingly he plays the entire programme, faultlessly, from memory. His stunning pedal technique is powerfully displayed in the George Thalben Ball 'Variations' for pedal.
