Chinese-Swiss artist Louis Schwizgebel became known to the wider public in 2012 after winning second prize at the International Piano Competition in Leeds, having already won the Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York. Music lovers will appreciate the finesse of this pianist-poet and it is to poetry that Louis Schwizgebel has decided to dedicate his first album.

“In sum, this is a very good recital. I could live with any of the performances. It is good to see another version of the Holliger pieces. As for the Gaspard de la Nuit, it is one of the finest available. I look forward to hearing more of Louis Schwizgebel. Music inspired by poetry, poetically played” (MusicWeb International)

“Ravel distils a poetry of pure virtuosity, made magical here…Liszt’s transcriptions of Schubert Lieder complete the sequence seductively.” (The Sunday Times)
