Leif Ove Andsnes
Leif Ove Andsnes is a celebrated Norwegian pianist known for his sensitive interpretations and deep musicality. Born 55 years ago on the rugged island of Karmøy, he grew up in a musically inclined family that fostered his passion for music from an early age. Andsnes began his formal music education at the Bergen Conservatory at the age of 16, where he developed a particular interest in the works of Franz Liszt, focusing on his later, more introspective compositions. His latest album showcases Liszt's 'Via crucis,' highlighting the spiritual and reflective aspects of the music. Andsnes's artistry is characterized by a profound emotional depth and a unique ability to convey the intimate and often complex nature of Liszt's later works, reflecting both his personal journey as an artist and his connection to the composer.
