Llŷr Williams (piano)

A WELSHMAN IN VIENNA

A phenomenon in the largest British concert halls including the Wigmore Hall in London, but on the continent the Welsh pianist Llŷr Williams is still a well-kept secret . In any case, the press is unanimous in his praise for his excellent interpretation of Beethoven's piano sonatas, which also makes the audience gasp again and again. His wonderfully sonorous touch, musical insight and compelling playing have already won him several prizes. He may owe his exceptionally lyrical style to the operas of Verdi and Wagner, which his parents taught him as a child. In turn, he presents us with a wonderfully balanced program: some of the most beautiful keyboard works by Schubert and Brahms are interspersed with music from the Second Viennese School. Undoubtedly, Williams brings excellent flavor to both the often served and rarely tasted pieces.
