“Spooner is a pianist in the tradition that many believe died with the likes of Horowitz, Arrau, Bolet, Cziffra, and Wild. His talent, to my ears, is easily the equal of most major pianists of today and far superior to a large number of those “most exciting and dynamic pianists of their generation” whose discs fill the new record catalogs to overflowing.” (FANFARE MAGAZINE) Steven has gained a global reputation as a pianist of inimitable gifts and innovative programing. He is the winner of top prizes at each of the seven international piano competitions he has entered including the Liszt, Hilton Head, Artlivre, and received First Prize and Neikamp Career grant at the Paris Conservatoire. Steven is a Steinway Artist. http://stevenspooner.com/
