The Washington Post describes pianist Stephen Hough as “a virtuoso who begins where others leave off.” In this performance, he joins the Taiwan Philharmonic in Liszt’s dramatic first piano concerto. One of today’s greatest living pianists, Hough has been named by The Economist as one of the Twenty Living Polymaths, and he was the first classical performer to be awarded a MacArthur Fellowship. The Guardian describes his performances as “the most perfect piano playing conceivable.”
