Kemal Gekic plays Liszt's Symphonie fantastique

“Pianist Flamboyant, daring, provocative, exciting, seductive and sensitive“ are some of the words used to describe one of today’s most formidable pianists, Kemal Gekic, whose playing has been acclaimed worldwide by public and critics alike. His daring approach to tone and form marked him as a maverick in the musical world, a distinction he welcomes: the very strength of his artistry challenges, provokes, intrigues.

Liszt’s transcription of Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique is one of the most demanding scores ever written for the piano — an entire orchestra, five movements and a descent into the witches’ sabbath, carried by ten fingers. Recorded live at the MIPF Academy.
