Andre Watts was born in 1946 and made his concert debut when he was only 9 years old. At the age of 16, Leonard Bernstein asked him to perform Liszt’s Piano Concerto No.1. Bernstein became Watts’ mentor. This all-Liszt recital, recorded in 1986, demonstrates what a great musician and breathtaking virtuoso he is.

****
“This remarkable pianist, born in 1946, is seldom heard in concert now, but this recital is treasurable. His Liszt is spacious, almost leisurely, and intensely poetic.”
