Twelve-year-old pianist Liam Nassereddine won the finals of the Royal Concertgebouw Competition on Sunday, June 25, 2023. The jury praised him for his narrative style of playing.
He played Black Earth by one of his favorite pianists, Fazil Say. “It starts with very dark sounds, you really have to push the hammers into the strings. You can put a lot of feeling into it.”
