"A young man comes on stage and plays the stars from the sky for you," wrote a reviewer in Frankfurt, Germany, about Austrian pianist Lukas Sternath. It's a lovely, arresting image that speaks to Sternath's reputation as a soloist with a chamber-music sensibility: he's committed to making the cosmic personal, to you. In his Boston debut program, built around Liszt's intimate transcriptions of Schubert Lieder, his playing—praised for its vocal, singing qualities—summons deep reserves of emotion without sentimentality, each feeling earned.

“[Sternath] nevertheless has his teacher’s [Igor Levit’s] uncanny gift of communicating through the piano as if it were a tuneful cello. His thoughts, mature and considered, couldn’t have been more vividly expressed. ”
The New York Times
