Pianist Bruce Liu releases his second DG album The Seasons. Following the enormous success with his first DG-album Waves, a tribute to French composers and nature themes, Liu now puts his focus on the intimate and expressive solo piano music of Tchaikovsky.
“For me, this is a moment to explore some personal emotion,” the pianist says about the album, which envelops the Russian composer’s intimate and profoundly poetic language with musical breathing space. “What’s so special about the work is that it’s so intimate, as if Tchaikovsky were speaking to himself when he wrote the pieces. It combines the folk element that inspired his ballets with the brilliance and flamboyance found in his concertos. More than that, it has a thoughtfulness and calmness at its core.”
