Episode 2: François-Xavier Poizat

Today I had the great fortune of speaking with the extraordinary pianist François-Xavier Poizat, who is a man of many talents and passions. We talk about so many things: classical music and jazz piano, the demands of professional study, achieving mastery in one's pursuits, the beauty of language and culture, and the strength of a trained mind. I am looking so forward to following his career!

Here is a link to François' own page, where you can watch his incredible recordings: https://www.fxpoizat.com/

Here is his recording of Smetana's Moldau, which I find absolutely brilliant.
