Jan Lisiecki: Preludes

Live from the renowned Teatro alla Scala in Milan, Jan Lisiecki presents a fascinating programme – reflecting the concept of his newest Deutsche Grammophon – presenting preludes written for the piano by wide range of composers. Well-known examples by Bach, Chopin and Rachmaninoff are juxtaposed with works by Karol Szymanowski, Olivier Messiaen and Henryk Górecki, showing how this modest form, with its origins in the extemporized curtain-raisers of the Baroque, has differently inspired composers to create works of striking imaginative freedom and inventiveness. Simultaneously, the programme allows Lisiecki to showcase the many facets of his pianism and musicianship as he takes us on a fascinating journey through centuries of musical history.
