Alice Sara Ott Essentials

This child prodigy-turned-adult virtuoso has toured the world with her dynamic and graceful interpretations of beloved piano works by Beethoven and Liszt. She's got plenty of power—as her quicker passagework shows—but it never comes at the expense of the wit or romantic qualities of the underlying music. With a repertoire that includes Chopin as well as Stravinsky, Ott balances sterling technique with interpretive poise. Her impressive list of collaborators includes performer-producer Ólafur Arnalds, violinist Lisa Batiashvili and the Munich Philharmonic.
