George Li ***
St John’s, Smith Square, 20th March 2018
George Li is not a flashy pianist. There are no histrionics, no gurning, no gazing into the middle distance for poetic effect. Instead, the Chinese-American, silver medalist in the 2015 International Tchaikovsky Competition, quietly gets on with it and lets his pianism do the talking. But in this polished International Piano Series recital at St John’s Smith Square – his London recital debut – that wasn’t always quite enough to allow his personality to blossom.
