BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, Lise de la SalleClose menu

Lise de la Salle plays piano music by Chopin and Liszt at London's Wigmore Hall.

Fiona Talkington introduces Lise de la Salle in a piano recital from the Wigmore Hall, London. Chopin: Four Ballades. Liszt: Apres une lecture du Dante (Dante Sonata).

The new season of live Monday Lunchtime Concerts from London's Wigmore Hall begins with the visit of a young pianist from France. Lise de la Salle has already made a considerable name for herself, winning prestigious prizes while still a teenager and receiving great acclaim for her debut recordings of romantic repertoire. In this recital she plays all four of Chopin's Ballades, each one a miniature tone-poem that evokes its own special world. The other work on the programme is by a composer enormously influenced by Chopin, Liszt. His so-called 'Dante Sonata' portays both heaven and hell in colourful and virtuosic music.
