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.
