These days there seem to be far more players around who have fantastic technique yet there are not too many younger players around who grab my attention. probably the most under-rated player for me is Zoe Rahman who I think is seriously under-rated and perhaps one of the most interesting British players around albeit other pianists like Alexander Hawkins and John Escreet (now resident in the US) seem to have the edge of their contemporaries whilst not getting the attention of the Laura Jurds of this world. I used to feel that the UK scene was probably second only to the US but of the stuff I have heard in France, I do not feel that the current UK is as good as JLU would make us believe. Who is the Mike Osborne or Joe Harriott of this generation ?
