Lunaris
Bruce Liu (piano)

[ Deutsche Grammophon / CD ]

Release Date: Friday 7 August 2026

Bruce Liu, whose career has surged to worldwide fame and recognition since winning the 2021 International Chopin Piano Competition, is hailed for his "elf-like virtuosity" (Le Monde) and "elegance and lightness of touch" (The Guardian). Liu now presents a deeply personal new album: with Lunaris he invites us into a world where sound, silence and imagination converge in a luminous nocturnal landscape. Inspired by the moon's indirect glow and the heightened sensitivity of night, the programme unfolds as a journey through shifting states of consciousness, from introspection to flashes of strangeness and dreamlike intensity.
