Lise de la Salle. Legendary Liszt

An evening of world-class piano artistry as French-Belgian pianist Lise de la Salle performs in the intimate Little Hall at Aarhus Concert Hall. Over more than two decades, she has established herself as one of her generation's most prominent pianists with an international career characterized by intensity, elegance, and technical virtuosity.

De la Salle's recordings have received significant international recognition and numerous awards, particularly for her interpretations of Liszt's works. She is a sought-after soloist with the world's leading orchestras and regularly collaborates with renowned conductors.

Program and Featured Works

The concert places Liszt at its center with the monumental Piano Sonata in B minor – one of the classical repertoire's most technically demanding and artistically fascinating masterworks. This dramatic and complexly structured composition poses significant challenges to any pianist and unfolds under de la Salle's hands with both power, stylistic sensitivity, and musical depth.

The concert program also includes Cantique d'Amour and Don Juan reminiscences.
