Info for Liszt: Piano Works



Internationally renowned soloist Lucille Chung performs a programme of virtuosic and beguiling works by Franz Liszt. One of the first female students of the iconic Russian pianist Lazar Berman at the Accademia Pianistica in Imola, Italy, Chung has won numerous awards for her performances of Liszt's music, including the B minor Sonata that features on this programme – although Lucille describes in her introduction to the programme how Berman "... for a time doubted that a diminutive lady with hands spanning a 9th (although I can now stretch a 10th on a good day) would ever succeed in playing Liszt well ... Mr Berman came around."

Renowned for her "blazing gutsy performance[s]" (The Washington Post), Lucille Chung was born in Montréal and has been acclaimed for her "stylish and refined performances" by Gramophone magazine, "combining vigour and suppleness with natural eloquence and elegance" (Le Soir).
