Much loved pianist, John Lill, plays touchstones of the 19th century
romantic piano tradition. Lill is at his sparkling best in this wonderful
repertoire. Lill's concert career spans over fifty years and has
taken him to over fifty countries, both as a recitalist and a soloist with
the world's greatest orchestras. His busy concert schedule continues to
take him up and down the breadth of the country from Scotland to the South
Coast and also to Europe and beyond, including performances of these
recorded works. Lill was awarded the CBE for his services to music
in the 2005 New Year's Honours List.
