Around these masterpieces, Liu unfolds a programme of extraordinary atmosphere and emotional depth, bringing together iconic piano works and hidden gems. Chopin’s beloved Nocturne, Debussy’s shimmering “Rêverie” and Bach’s timeless lyricism meet rarely recorded pieces by Mompou, the ecstatic intensity of Scriabin and the hypnotic beauty of Cage’s “Dream”. Contemporary colours from Agnes Obel and Ligeti lend this musical journey a fresh and unexpected dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than a classical recital album, “Lunaris” is an immersive listening experience: cinematic, nocturnal and deeply personal.
