"His performance here is astounding in its technical security and precision in the fast pieces, while displaying great sensitivity, elegance, and grace in the others."
- Fanfare
The Steinway Classics series presents pianist Simon Mulligan in elegant performances of Chopin’s beloved Waltzes. British pianist Simon Mulligan is, according to The Times of London "the most abundantly gifted of pianists’, to Steinway & Sons he is ‘the world’s most versatile pianist"; Pulitzer prizewinning composer Paul Moravec calls him "a pianist with complete mastery of the instrument", while Herbie Hancock says "You have a phenomenal touch, man!"
In addition to his extensive discography and vast repertoire, Mulligan’s solo work gains praise from critics and audiences alike, and his collaborations include performances and recordings with Yehudi Menuhin, Joshua Bell, Leonard Slatkin and Sting.
