The pianist continues his exploration of French pianism in a new album. Waves: Music by Satie features two contrasting  versions of the composer’s six Gnossiennes. Satie’s six simple short works for solo piano, written between 1890 and 1897, are full of new and unexpected colours, with a sometimes oriental feel, they may have been influenced by the eastern music Satie heard at the 1889 Paris Exposition. Bruce Liu, who was himself born in Paris, creates two distinctive but equally captivating soundworlds here with his grand and upright piano versions.
