About

Canadian star pianist Jan Lisiecki’s upcoming album puts the focus on the kaleidoscopic world of the prelude. Lisiecki himself refers how he is seeking “to showcase the broad possibilities of the humble Prelude” that takes “the audience on a musical expedition”. Composers from multiple eras, whose works are featured, include Bach, Messiaen, Rachmaninoff, Górecki and of course Chopin, who is known for having reinvented the prelude with his iconic 24 Preludes Op. 28.

Awards and reviews

May 2025

Lisiecki’s strongest suit is the three pieces he has selected from Messiaen’s Huit Préludes pour piano, both from the beauty and sensitivity of the performances and for having resisted the temptation to let Debussy represent the native-born French in this line-up.
