Described by Gramophone Magazine as possessing the enviable gift to turn almost anything he plays into pure gold, Ashley Wass is firmly established as one of the leading performers of his generation. He is the only British pianist to have won First Prize at the London International Piano Competition and is also a former BBC New Generation Artist. Ashley is Naxos's first ever exclusively contracted solo artist, and his recent surveys of piano music by Bridge and Bax have been heralded as unmissable and the yardstick against which all future recordings will be judged.
