“immaculate pianism and artistry” —The Guardian

Pianist Louis Lortie appears in the world’s most prestigious concert halls and festivals, including London’s Wigmore Hall, the Philharmonie de Paris, Carnegie Hall, Beethovenfest Bonn, and Liszt Festival Raiding. He has established long-term partnerships with orchestras such as the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre National de France, and Dresden Philharmonic in Europe, and the Philadelphia Orchestra, Dallas Symphony, San Diego Symphony, and St. Louis Symphony in the US. Lortie’s vast recording catalogue includes Liszt’s complete Années de pèlerinage, which was named as one of the top ten recordings of 2012 by the New Yorker. Lortie has studied with Yvonne Hubert, with Beethoven specialist Dieter Weber, and with Schnabel disciple Leon Fleisher. In 1984, Lortie won First Prize in the Busoni Competition and was a prizewinner at the Leeds Competition.
