Programme Note

This programme traces a musical odyssey—from Bach's incandescent virtuosity through Beethoven's profound lyricism and Chopin's impassioned drama, ascending to Messiaen's celestial radiance before culminating in Liszt's transcendent journey from shadows to illumination. Each work represents a pinnacle of piano literature, together forming a reflection on humanity's spiritual ascent through sound.
