Lise de la Salle - Legendary Liszt

World-class piano artistry with Lise de la Salle When Lise de la Salle takes the stage in the intimate Lille Sal of Musikhuset, she does so with an international career that over more than two decades has placed her among the most distinctive pianists of our time. With intensity, elegance and technical surplus she creates piano playing of great impact, lifting the music with both precision and presence. Her recordings have received great international acclaim and have been rewarded with a number of prizes - not least for her interpretations of Liszt, where her albums have been singled out as something special. She is also a sought-after soloist with orchestras around the world and collaborates with some of the most acclaimed conductors in the business. A legendary work at the centre When Lise de la Salle takes the stage at Musikhuset, Liszt is at the centre with the monumental Piano Sonata in B minor - one of the most demanding and fascinating works in the piano literature. With its dramatic range and technical complexity, the work places great demands on the pianist, and in Lise de la Salle’s hands it unfolds with power, nuance and musicality.
