A powerful and intense pianist, Lise de la Salle has boldly maintained a youthful fire in the course of a fast-paced 20-year career. This seemingly boundless energy and drive are burnished with maturity and focus that make her a compelling interpreter worth hearing again and again. "For much of the concert, the audience had to remember to breathe...the exhilaration didn't let up for a second until her hands came off the keyboard" (Washington Post).
A career of already over 20 years, award-winning Naive recordings, international concert appearances-Lise de la Salle has established herself as one of today's exciting young artists and as a musician of real sensibility and maturity. Her playing inspired a Washington Post critic to write, "For much of the concert, the audience had to remember to breathe...the exhilaration didn't let up for a second until her hands came off the keyboard."
