Jan Lisiecki looks off to the upper left corner of the frame. He has short, curly brown hair and bright blue eyes. He leans against stone wall, casting a long, blue shadow.

Canadian pianist Jan Lisiecki is the soloist in Mozart’s mysterious and stormy Piano Concerto No. 20, infused with operatic drama and expressivity. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky said of his Symphony No. 6, the Pathétique, “I love it as I have never loved any of my musical children.” It was his last completed work, and he led the premiere less than two weeks before his death.
