Alexander Kashpurin @ Shanghai Concert Hall

Witness the astonishing Shanghai debut of Alexander Kashpurin, the newly crowned winner of the 2026 International Liszt Piano Competition in Utrecht.

This recital marks the first stop on his China tour, offering a rare opportunity to hear the artist who stunned the jury with his profound and dramatic interpretations.

Kashpurin's path to victory was the stuff of legend: entering the competition as a substitute, he captivated audiences and critics alike to seize both the First Prize and the Audience Award.

Now, he brings that same compelling energy to a program of Romantic masterworks, unlocking the cinematic sweep of Rachmaninoff's Études-Tableaux, Op. 39, a set of nine tone paintings brimming with virtuosity and dark, evocative color.

The program culminates with the monumental summit of the piano literature, Liszt's revolutionary Sonata in B minor.

Experience the thrilling artistry of a true 'dark horse' contender.

Sat Mar 14, 7.30pm, RMB180-380
