Just in his own time for Chopin

Just in his own time for Chopin

There’s a surprise #1 on the Apple Classical global streaming charts this week.

It’s a French-US harpsichordist called Justin Taylor playing Chopin on a Pleyel pianino of 1839. The label is Outhere. Is Justin out there playing pianino night after night? Or is this flying off Apple by word of mouth?
