Reviews

  • "Cassidy's interpretations are nuanced and poetic and his voicing is always clear and transparent even when Debussy's textures get complicated. ...Pianists will find the interpretations instructive and the playing inspiring. Non-pianists will simply enjoy the fourteen tracks as they unfold."
