BRUCE LIU - WAVES: MUSIC BY RAMEAU, RAVEL, ALKAN / For his first album as an exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist, 2021 International Chopin Competition winner Bruce Liu has compiled an enthralling survey of 200 years of French keyboard music, from Baroque to modern. The phenomenal young Canadian pianist has subtly adjusted the action of his instrument to highlight the differing musical styles. The album's title WAVES alludes not only to the nature theme that runs throughout the program, but also to the sheer spontaneity of Liu's music-making.
