Bruce Liu, the triumphant winner of the eighteenth edition of the Chopin Competition, dedicated to the victims of the Ukrainian war the first of his two recitals held in Warsaw. It is the gesture of a musician with both mind and heart, and this understanding becomes clear when listening to his interpretations: rigorous, precise, and impeccable. Born in Paris to Chinese parents but musically raised in Montreal, Bruce Liu brings to Bologna a recital that departs from the beloved Chopin, in order to explore the classicism of Haydn and Beethoven, the 20th-century compositions of Prokofiev, and eventually landing on the “jazz-inspired” Variations op.41 by the Russian composer Nikolai Kapustin, born in 1937.

English

Il primo dei suoi due recital tenuti a Varsavia, Bruce Liu, trionfatore della diciottesima edizione del Concorso Chopin, lo aveva dedicato alle vittime della guerra ucraina. È il gesto di un musicista dotato di mente e di cuore, e lo si comprende bene anche ascoltando le sue interpretazioni: rigorose, lucide, impeccabili. Nato a Parigi da genitori cinesi ma cresciuto musicalmente a Montreal, Bruce Liu porta a Bologna un recital che si allontana dal prediletto Chopin per toccare il classicismo di Haydn e Beethoven, il Novecento di Prokof’ev fino ad approdare alle “jazzistiche” Variazioni op.41 del compositore russo, nato nel 1937, Nikolai Kapustin.
