The Great Romantics

This concert will be a historic moment with André Laplante and his wonderful interpretation of Liszt’s sonata in so minor!

Quebec pianist André Laplante is rightly considered one of today’s great romantic virtuosos. In the wake of his silver medal at the prestigious Tchaikovsky International Competition in Moscow, he performed on stages around the world with the most renowned orchestras. As a guest soloist, he has toured extensively in Europe and across North America. André Laplante has several albums to his credit, devoted in particular to the music of Ravel (nomination, Juno Award, 1992), Liszt (Félix Prize, 1995), Brahms (Félix Prize, 1996) and Rachmaninov. More recently, he recorded a masterful performance of Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto with the Orchestre symphonique de Québec.
