When French pianist Lucas Debargue made his Koerner Hall debut in 2020, The New York Times remarked, \u201cIf he comes back to town, that would be news, all by itself.\u201d Debargue returns to Koerner Hall this October for an evening of poetic and evocative tenderness. He has prepared a program of works that trace the winding streets of Paris, guided by three masters of the pianoforte: Mozart, Chopin, and Alkan.<\/p>\n
Debargue captured the world\u2019s attention in 2015, when he was awarded fourth place as well as the coveted Moscow Music Critics’ Prize at the Tchaikovsky Competition. So compelling was the spirit of his creative power that the Huffington Post declared, \u201cThere hasn\u2019t been a foreign pianist who has caused such a stir since Glenn Gould\u2019s arrival in Moscow in the midst of the Cold War, or Van Cliburn\u2019s victory at the Tchaikovsky Competition.\u201d His career quickly accelerated to join world-renowned soloists in concert, including a high-profile chamber ensemble with celebrated violinist Janine Jansen. \u201cLike a young Rimbaud, his touch is poetic and full of dazzling musical imagery \u2014 slightly dangerous even.\u201d (Toronto Star)<\/p>\n
Following his much celebrated recording of 52 Scarlatti sonatas for Sony Classical, Debargue returned to the label in 2021 with Zal: The Music of Mi\u0142osz Magin, where he was joined by Gideon Kremer and the Kremerata Baltica. For one evening only, Toronto audiences will welcome the incomparable artist\u2019s highly anticipated return.<\/p>\n
