The sensuous beauty and fluid technique of Leif Ove Andsnes’ playing are just the beginning of a dynamic and riveting musical world view. This magnificent Norwegian pianist is something of a maverick (he once took six months off to live alone in the Norwegian countryside). His is a poet’s soul, searching for musical truth, not mere expression. Leif Ove Andsnes makes utterly vital music.

“The all-but-flawless technique is a given; seldom has there been a pianist who negotiates technical challenges with more ease and less fuss. What is particularly interesting is what Andsnes’ formidable technique allows him to do.”
