# Beatrice Berrut, pianist

The fantastical imagination of composer-pianist Beatrice Berrut draws from the innumerable possibilities of the piano’s sound. Highly regarded for her 2021 recording of Franz Liszt’s late works, Berrut has released several revelatory accounts of Liszt’s music, alongside her latest albums that features some of her own music and transcriptions. The Library holds essential primary source materials for Liszt’s first elegy and his three funeral odes, highly personal works drawing on a vast array of references. She also performed Liszt’s piano transformation of Camille Saint-Saëns’ symphonic poem Danse macabre, before two transcriptions written by Berrut herself: the Andante moderato from Gustav Mahler’s sixth symphony and The Sorcerer’s Apprentice by Paul Dukas.
