Mandarin, French, English? For Bruce Liu, it's just a question of the other person - the Paris-born Canadian with Chinese roots is equally fluent in all three languages. But his best means of expression is undoubtedly music. Since winning first place at the Chopin Competition in Warsaw in 2021, the young pianist has been attracting crowds of new listeners with his subtle and unpretentious playing. Deutsche Grammophon hired him straight away as an exclusive artist and the doors of the great classical temples suddenly opened for the piano student, who has since even exceeded the great promise that comes with such a competition win. His Chopin sounds like a language of its own - universally understandable and individually touching at the same time!
