Praised for the‘self-effacing intensity and intelligence’ of his playing, young Jordanian-bornpianist Karim Said – hailed by International Piano magazine as ‘one towatch’ – here presents a compelling programme of early- 20th-century musicselected to mark the First World War Centenary and which reveals hiscaptivating style.
