27-year-old pianist Lise de la Salle has emerged as one of France’s musical revelations, captivating audiences the world over with her prodigious gifts, superlative technique, and a passionate, mature musicianship found in only the rarest of prodigies. To mark her Hong Kong debut Lise de la Salle performs Mozart’s Concerto for Piano No.23, a work full of pathos and playfulness, and Saint- Saëns’ Concerto for Piano No.2, a show-stopping nod to Parisian cabaret music. Fauré’s charming orchestral suite Masques et Bergamasques led by Jean Thorel completes the French connection.
