“Jan Lisiecki has what it takes to become the successor of the great Alfred Brendel on the summit of the Mount Olympus of pianists”, wrote Berlin daily Der Tagesspiegel. Would it be too much to expect from a 25-year-old? Not when he so masterfully proves his incredibly mature, profound grasp of music on the concert podiums of the world. Lisiecki has been doing so for many years: he signed his first recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon when he was fifteen.
