The award-winning performances by Dutch pianist Nikola Meeuwsen, who won first prize at the Koningin Elisabethwedstrijd in 2025, are captured on this live recording. His artistic maturity is expressed in Mendelssohn's deeply felt Variations sérieuses, Liszt's visionary and passionate Dante-sonate and the imaginative Etudes by Ana Sokolović. The program is completed by Mozart's Ninth Piano Concerto "Jenamy" with the Orchestre Royal de Chambre de Wallonie conducted by Vahan Mardirossian. These recordings capture the clarity, imagination and expressive freedom that characterize Meeuwsen as one of the most compelling voices of his generation.
