Wow! We don't see enough virtuoso one hand pieces. I'd actually just recently learned about Nicholas McCarthy too, so it's great to see him featured here, thank you.

An accomplished pianist for sure. Close your eyes, and you’d no know the difference. Cheers Nicholas! 🇬🇧👍🙂🇺🇸

Bit different interpretation than how I used to play, thank you Nicholas for discovering all the left-hand pieces.
