Liszt Reincarnate
»If his sheer virtuosity is impressive, it is his ear for poetry that makes him a true artist.« (The Times): at the age of 22, Alexandre Kantorow was the first French pianist to win the Gold Medal at the Tchaikovsky Competition as well as the Grand Prix, awarded only three times before in the competition's history. He has been hailed by critics as the »young tsar of the piano« and »Liszt reincarnate«, he has received numerous other awards and is already being invited at the highest level worldwide. Born in 1997, Kantorow is a proven Liszt expert and also places the composer at the center of his piano recital.
