Gábor Farkas performs an all-Liszt recital on a 19th-century Érard piano such as Liszt used, showing us both its highlights and its shortcomings.

In the relatively recent past, Russian pianist Nikolai Lugansky has featured impressively as an RSNO guest in concertos by two of his countrymen (Rachmaninov and Prokofiev).

Dans la petite église de Hendaye pleine comme un œuf, le co-directeur artistique du Festival Ravel a livré un récital Ravel-Liszt-Jarrell proprement extraordinaire.

Nelson Goerner était au Théâtre des Champs-Élysées : dans un programme romantique, entre Schumann, Brahms et Liszt, le pianiste argentin nous livre un beau récital marqué de sa « griffe ».
