Winner of an unprecedented triple award at the Naumburg Competition, Pratt is a musical risk-taker who as a young superstar used big pieces to shift into “a spectacular form of pianistic overdrive” (Baltimore Sun).  Now 42, his fierce proficiency is tempered by the nuance maturity brings, as dazzling passages emphasize moments of subtle introspection.
