George Li travels to Spain this month to make his debut in Barcelona at the L’Auditori on 27 January 2017. Li performs Liszt Piano Concert No.1 alongside Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra. Li is a regular guest of the orchestra, performing around the world to critical acclaim:
“George Li has energy to spare: the American pianist maintains his presence with even the softest chord, the softest passing note. His rhythmic concentration is in peak condition… As lively and refreshing as spring water, the many scales of the First Concerto sounded like so many slides: here is a musician who enriches more than he holds back, with expressiveness that is breath taking in its clarity.”
Bachtrack, November 2016
“A bracing, fearless account…Mr. Li’s playing combined youthful abandon with utter command.”
