Sein Chopin klingt wie eine eigene Sprache – universell verständlich und individuell berührend zugleich: Bruce Liu gehört aktuell zu den besten Interpreten des feinsinnigen Komponisten.Mandarin, Französisch, Englisch? Für Bruce Liu nur eine Frage des Gegenübers – in allen drei Sprachen unterhält sich der in Paris geborene Kanadier mit chinesischen Wurzeln gleichermaßen gewandt. Doch sein bestes Ausdrucksmittel ist zweifelsohne die Musik. Seit dem ersten Platz beim Chopin-Wettbewerb 2021 erreicht der junge Pianist mit seinem feinsinnigen Spiel Musikbegeisterte. Sein Chopin klingt wie eine eigene Sprache – universell verständlich und individuell berührend zugleich.

Bruce Liu / Piano Recital

Every season, the »Master Pianists« concert series presents a promising young talent who has the potential to become a star. The choice was not difficult this time round: since his explosive success at the 2021 Chopin Competition in Warsaw, 25-year-old Bruce Liu has been literally swamped with concert offers. An exclusive recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon in spring 2022 was followed in the summer by an unprecedented triumphal procession from one European festival to the next. Liu’s recital programmes last year always included compositions by Rameau, Ravel, Liszt and Chopin – music that Bruce Liu connects with his native Paris, and that will also be on his first album. »Music has a power that helps me put my emotional house in order« – this is how the Canadian pianist with Chinese roots describes the importance of piano playing in his life.

Mandarin, French, English? For Bruce Liu, it’s just a question for the other person – the Paris-born Canadian with Chinese roots is equally fluent in all three languages. But his best means of expression is undoubtedly music. Since winning first place at the Chopin Competition in Warsaw in 2021, the young pianist has been attracting crowds of new listeners with his subtle and unpretentious playing. Deutsche Grammophon hired him straight away as an exclusive artist and the doors of the great classical temples suddenly opened for the piano student, who has since surpassed the great promise that comes with such a competition win. His Chopin sounds like a language of its own – universally understandable and individually moving at the same time!

This is a moment everyone has been waiting for – Bruce Liu returns to NOSPR!In 2021, several days after his spectacular triumph in the 18th Chopin Competition, Bruce Liu gained 1,800 new fans as soon as he stepped onto the NOSPR stage (more people did not manage to enter the hall, even though, as we can remember, they tried!). Nevertheless, if we take into account the 300,000 online broadcast viewers, we can say that the concert sealed the Canadian pianist’s superstar status.Back then, Bruce Liu performed the Piano Concerto No. 1 in E-minor, with which he had won the competition. This time, we are going to hear the second one of Chopin’s concertos – the one in the key of F-minor. Both in the Concerto and in the Andante spianato et grande polonaise brillante in E-flat major, the latter to open the evening, he will be accompanied by theAmsterdam Sinfonietta, led by Candida Thompson. You might also remember these artists from NOSPR posters: in 2020, the ensemble and its leader were to accompany the Jussen brothers, but their performance was cancelled due to the pandemic.In the April concert, the Dutch orchestra will also present Tchaikovsky’s Souvenir de Florence and Mieczysław Weinberg’s deeply moving Aria. It will be a truly unique evening!Szymon MaliszewskiConcert duration (intermission included): approximately 120 minutes
