As a teenager, Alice Sara Ott won a number of distinguished prizes for her piano performances. In 2007-2008, she stepped in for pianists such as Murray Perahia and Lang Lang at the last minute, in addition to her own scheduled performances, making an impression on audiences every time. Ott continues to expand her touring and performing, as a concerto soloist, a recitalist, and a chamber musician at various festivals. She has recorded exclusively for Deutsche Grammophon since 2008, seeming to focus on the Romantic masters of the keyboard: Beethoven, Liszt, and Chopin. ~ Patsy Morita, Rovi
