My Take
Mihkel Poll fascinates me precisely because he hails from Tallinn, a small Baltic capital that punches far above its weight culturally. Trained at the Tallinn Music High School and the Estonian Academy of Music under Ivari Ilja, he represents the kind of quiet, rigorous pianism I admire most. There is no flashy publicity trail here, just the long discipline of the keyboard. I find that absence refreshing. I imagine his playing carries that clear, unadorned Northern European sensibility, where the music itself does all the talking. He is exactly the sort of artist I would happily seek out in a concert hall.
Overview
