Derek Paravicini

Derek Paravicini moves me in a way few performers do. A blind savant pianist who can reproduce a piece flawlessly after a single hearing, he embodies the beautiful mystery of how the human brain and music intertwine. I suspect his playing is less about technique than about a kind of total fusion with sound itself, something most trained musicians spend lifetimes chasing. Now a veteran born in 1979 and based in London, he reminds me that genius rarely fits the boxes we build for it. I find myself rooting unreservedly for talents like his.
