First Prize at the Montreal OSM-Standard Life competition and winner of Prix d'Europe, Tristan Longval-Gagné stands out as an important Canadian pianist. His playing successfully combines expressive intensity, explosive virtuosity and intellectual rigor. Scriabin, Ravel, Liszt, Rachmaninov and Rzewski are admirably served by this pianist. In addition, he presents us with his own transcription of excerpts from West Side Story. An amazing and stunning recital!
