In 2010 Lisiecki signed an exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon, becoming the youngest-ever pianist to sign to the prestigious 'yellow label': his debut recording of Mozart Concertos was lauded by Gramophone as 'a noteworthy disc from an exciting talent', and a disc of Chopin Etudes followed the next year.
