Watercolor / Shen Lu

PEIXUN RAVEL RACHMANINOV

A native of Jiangsu, China, pianist Shen Lu has performed concerts at Beijing’s Central Conservatory Music Hall, Culture Center and City Hall, Weill Recital Hall and Carnegie Hall in New York, Jordan Hall in Boston, Severance Hall in Cleveland, The Kennedy Center in Washington DC, The County Museum of Art in Los Angeles, Flagey Concert Hall in Brussels, and the Seymour Centre in Sydney. Shen Lu has won numerous international piano competitions. His gold prize at the 2014 Hilton Head International Piano competition includes this collaboration with Steinway & Sons – his debut recording. “Watercolor” highlights Shen Lu’s specialization in contemporary Chinese repertoire with one work each by Chen Peixun and Tan Dun, arguably the most familiar composer of Chinese extraction in the Western world, and his passion for the great French and Russian piano works of the 20th c, highlighted by Ravel’s Miroirs and Rachmaninov’s eight Études-Tableaux, Op. 33.
