Kit Armstrong Plays Wagner, Liszt and Mozart 2019《BDMV 22.1G》

Bayreuth is not only the city of Richard Wagner, but also of his father-in-law Franz Liszt. Described by the New York Times as a brilliant pianist who combines musical maturity and youthful daring in his exceptional playing, Kit Armstrong performed at the famous Margravial Opera House Bayreuth, a masterpiece of Baroque theatre architecture, works by Wagner, Liszt and Mozart in a concert that was technically sophisticated – and poetically poignant. (Der Opernfreund) Alfred Brendel, who has guided Armstrong as teacher and mentor since 2005, ascribes to him an understanding of the great piano works that combines freshness and subtlety, emotion and intellect.
