Work: Réminiscences de Norma, S 394

One of music’s first “rock stars”, Franz Liszt created the piano recital: performing without a score, turning the piano sideways – so audiences could admire his profile – striding on and off the platform between numbers.

Intelligent and arresting Dvořák, warm and confident Humperdinck from Rory Macdonald's debut with the LPO, marred only by disappointing Chopin.  

Chez George Sand, Michel Dalberto convainc davantage dans Ravel que dans Chopin, tandis que le jeune Malaisien Vincent Ong est à l'aise dans Schumann.
