Lisa Moore official site

Pitchfork writes: “The New York-based Australian pianist Lisa Moore is a tightrope-walker, a daredevil. She’s the best kind of contemporary classical musician, one so fearsomely game that she inspires composers to offer her their most wildly unplayable ideas. She can play them all.” The New York Times writes ‘Lisa Moore has always been a natural, compelling storyteller’. TimeOut New York describes her as ‘the wonderfully lyrical pianist’. Lisa has ten solo discs (Cantaloupe, Orange Mountain Music, Tall Poppies, Bandcamp) ranging from Leoš Janáçek to Philip Glass. Her latest disc The Stone People (Cantaloupe), featuring the music of John Luther Adams, Martin Bresnick, Missy Mazzoli, Kate Moore, Frederic Rzewski and Julia Wolfe, made The New York Times Top Classical Albums of 2016 and the 2017 Naxos Critics’ Choice.
