His victory at the 18th International Frédéric Chopin Piano Competition in October 2021 made Bruce Liu a global sensation. The live album with his recordings from the competition was released the following month to critical acclaim, and in March 2022, the Canadian pianist became an exclusive artist of Deutsche Grammophon.Today, Bruce Liu presents his highly anticipated first studio album, spanning two centuries of French keyboard music. The Paris-born pianist took a historical approach to selecting his repertoire, focusing on three French composers who played a fundamental role in the development of keyboard music between the 18th and early 20th centuries: Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764), Charles-Valentin Alkan (1813-88), and Maurice Ravel (1875-1937). The album's title reflects both the theme of nature, which runs throughout the album, and Liu's spontaneous style: "The sea is constantly changing," he notes. "And my approach to the music I play is never fixed."
