About

The brilliant young pianist Lise de la Salle’s last CD of solo pieces by Mozart and Prokofiev was an Editors Choice in “The Gramophone”, as well as a double 5* recommendation in the BBC music magazine. This is her first recording of music from the concerto repertoire and features the first piano concertos of Shostakovich, Liszt and Prokofiev.
 
As the first piano concertos by each of these great composers, the three works featured on this new CD represent important staging posts in the development of the genre through the 19th and 20th centuries. Shostakovich, Liszt and Prokofiev were in their day considered to be outstanding pianists and these three pieces are all notable for there innovative and virtuosic style. 
 
Born in 1988, Lise de la Salle performed her first concert at Radio France at the age of nine, and won First Prize at the Ettlingen International Competition at the age of twelve. A scholarship holder from the Fondation d’Entreprise Banque Populaire-Natexis and winner of first prizes at both the Young Concert Artists European Auditions and the Young Concert Artists International Auditions, Lise de la Salle has been a student of Pascal Nemirovski since she was ten. While continuing to work with him, she has also obtained a Premier Prix at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris-CNR in the class of Pierre Réach and gone on to the postgraduate cycle at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, in Bruno Rigutto’s class.
