Ji Liu has positioned himself as one of the brightest stars in classical music today. Alongside topping the classical charts on numerous occasions, he also delights audiences around the world, from the Royal Albert Hall in London to Carnegie Hall in New York. Back in 2010, Ji Liu’s recording of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue with the Royal Academy of Music Symphonic Brass and James Watson on the Academy’s own label had foreseen the pianist’s future thriving career as a recording artist. In 2014, his debut solo album ‘Piano Reflections’ stormed the UK Classical Charts, reaching number one and making him the UK’s biggest-selling classical breakthrough artist of the year. This album was also nominated as the ‘Best Classical Album’ in the prestigious Chinese Music Awards in 2015. Following this success, Ji Liu went on to release two more acclaimed albums, ‘Piano Encores’ and ‘Pure Chopin’. In 2016, ‘Pure Chopin’ was nominated as one of 20 best classical albums of the year by Classic FM radio. In early 2018, Ji Liu was nominated as ‘Best Classical Artist of the Year’ at the inaugural Global Awards.
