George Li made his debut at the Edinburgh International Festival debut on 10 August with a solo recital of Haydn, Chopin, Rachmaninov and Liszt at the Queen’s Hall. The performance was broadcast on BBC Radio 3 live – you can listen again online on the BBC website. The broadcast will be available until 10 September.
The Herald wrote of the concert:
“[Li has] masses of style, acres of expertise and technical virtuosity with dexterity almost beyond categorisation… I’ve seldom felt a crows being so swept along by the momentum of an event, and they roared for more.”
The full programme:
Haydn Piano Sonata in B minor
Chopin Piano Sonata No.2 in B flat minor
Rachmaninov Variations on a Theme of Corelli
Liszt Consolation No.3 in D flat major
Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody No.2
