Hicks - Charles Villiers Stanford, Rebecca Clarke, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, John Ireland, Franz Liszt: Piano Sonatas

Hailed as an artist of �magnificent pianism�, Guernsey-born pianist Tom Hicks has been praised for his �gorgeously creative playing� that �transports the listener to another place and time�. Hicks is a gold medallist in numerous national and international competitions and holds degrees and awards from The University of Manchester, The Royal Northern College of Music, Yale University and Northwestern University, where he now lectures. His first disc featuring John Ireland�s Sarnia, �Tom Hicks: Ireland and Tchaikovsky� has been described as �brilliantly evocative� by Colin Clarke in International Piano, and �gorgeously creative� by Scott Noriega in Fanfare.
