London-based Australian pianist Piers Lane is one of the most inquisitive and engaging live performers of his generation. In great demand as soloist and collaborative artist, recent highlights include a performance of Busoni’s mighty piano concerto at Carnegie Hall, premieres of Carl Vine’s second Piano Concerto, written for him, with the Sydney Symphony and the London Philharmonic, and a sold-out performance of Chopin’s complete Nocturnes at Wigmore Hall.
He has a discography of over 50 CDs, primarily on the Hyperion label, but also on Chandos, EMI, Decca, Naxos, BMG and ABC Classics. His most recent solo recording, “Piers Lane goes to Town” was released by Hyperion in September 2013. In the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Birthday Honours, he was made an Officer in the Order of Australia (AO) for services to the arts as pianist, mentor and director.
“No praise could be high enough for Piers Lane whose playing throughout is of a superb musical intelligence, sensitivity, and scintillating brilliance.” Bryce Morrison, Gramophone
