Edvard Grieg Alice Sara Ott Wonderland

Alice Sara Ott's new recital combines Edvard Grieg's Opus 16 with a dozen of the more famous of his "Lyrical Pieces". His at first glance somewhat strange title "Wonderland", of course, alludes to Lewis Carroll's famous children's book "Alice in Wonderland", which appeared in 1865, the same decade in which Grieg wrote the first of his "album sheets" and his unabated popular piano concerto.

"Alice Sara Ott gives a strong-centred account with plenty of power and flair; and she is much blessed to have as her companions the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, sounding fabulous under Esa-Pekka Salonen with radiant tone and the textures shimmering with detail…"

Championne des premiers prix de piano, Alice Sara Ott (né à Munich le 1er août 1988) fait ses classes au Mozarteum de Salzbourg, en Autriche, avant de se lancer dans les plus grands festivals européens. Signée en exclusivité par Deutsche Grammophon, elle enregistre les 12 Études d'exécution transcendante de Franz Liszt (parues en 2009) et se produit au Japon à guichets fermés.
