“Since Glenn Gould’s visit to Moscow and Van Cliburn’s victory at the Tchaikovsky Competition in the heat of the Cold War, never has a foreign pianist provoked such frenzy.” – Olivier Bellamy, THE HUFFINGTON POST
French pianist Lucas Debargue is widely regarded as one of the most original pianists of his generation. He became internationally known at the 2015 Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow in a way that critics described as extraordinary: audiences and music critics alike saw him as the true sensation of the competition.
Debargue is known as an interpreter who draws inspiration from literature, visual arts, and film, and always constructs his programmes from a strong personal perspective. His concerts are experiences, not just performances.
