Lucas is mobbed at the Mariinsky
mainThe French pianist Lucas Debargue, the Moscow audience favourite at the Tchaikovsky finals, received ‘a storm of applause’ on his St Petersburg debut, with a recital of Beethoven, Medtner and Ravel. After five encores, he ended with a jazz improvisation.
Report here (in Russian).
Congratulations, Lucas! Being different and being admired by the public will fare him very well perhaps. Wish him great success in bringing his musical gifts to many! I look forward to his recordings as well.
He got the new suit, too!
