About

French-Canadian Louis Lortie is considered one of the most versatile pianists in the world, exploring a repertoire that spans several eras. On his debut at Casa da Música, he presents a recital entirely dedicated to the famous transcripts of the Hungarian virtuoso Liszt. Used to disseminate the literature of other composers but also as a way to demonstrate the virtuous resources of the performers, Liszt's transcriptions had a mejor impact on the piano catalogue. Among about 400 scores, Beethoven's nine symphonies stand out for being some the "most demanding pieces ever written". The programme also includes the transcription of the touching song cycle of An die ferne Geliebte, percursor to the great song cycles by Scubert and Schumann.
