I Pianisti del Lingotto. Lucas Debargue

French pianist Lucas Debargue rose to fame at the 2015 Tchaikovsky Competition, placing fourth. His 'artistic vision and creative freedom' earned him a reputation as a singular talent, inspired as much by jazz and cinema as by the classical tradition. For his return to Lingotto Musica, Debargue opens with the Baroque wit of Scarlatti, followed by the delicate textures of Ravel’s Sonatine and Jeux d’eau and the power of Rachmaninoff’s Sonata No. 2. The evening closes with his own original composition on a theme by Gershwin.
