Pianist Lise de la Salle plays Ravel's Gaspard de la nuit and works by Brahms.

Piano recital by Lise de la Salle (piano). Brahms: Theme and Variations in D minor (arranged from String Sextet No 1); Two Rhapsodies, Op 79. Ravel: Gaspard de la nuit.

In the first of four recitals this week given by major pianists under the age of 30 and recorded at LSO St Lukes in London, French pianist Lise de la Salle performs Brahms's two well-known Rhapsodies Op 79, and the composer's own arrangement of a movement from his First String Sextet, plus one of the most demanding works in the piano repertoire, Ravel's brilliantly evocative Gaspard de la nuit.

Born in Cherbourg in 1988, Lise de la Salle, started playing the piano at the age of four and gave her first concert, broadcast live by Radio France, when she was nine. At the age of thirteen she made her concerto debut with Beethoven's Second Concerto. Between 1997 and 2004 she won numerous competitions (e.g. First Prize in the 2004 Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York), and she made her first commercial CD at the age of only fourteen.
