His Serbian colleague won the Davorin Jenko Competition in Belgrade in 2015 and Concours Brueghel in Brussels in 2017. 2021 First Prize Winner of the Les Etoiles du Piano competition in France, Alexander Kashpurin is 'one of those great rarities amongst pianists, having a true musical personality combined with exceptional pianistic resources, far beyond the norm'. Together they offer a rare opportunity to hear Liszt’s extraordinary transcriptions of three Beethoven symphonies.
