Yoav Levanon:
Yoav Levanon is only 20 years old but has already released two solo albums — his "A Monument for Beethoven" included a much-praised performance of Liszt's mighty Sonata in B minor. So it's only logical that his first album with orchestra features three concertante works by Liszt — the Concertos Nos 1 & 2 and the Totentanz.

Bruce (Xiaoyu) Liu:
Since winning the International Chopin Competition in 2021, Bruce Liu's life has changed completely: “I’ve gone from being a student to not having much time at home for a whole year, being constantly on tour. I find the ‘cosiness’ and ‘intimacy’ in this music give me a chance to stand back and reflect, because it is so much about private memories.”
