Carter Larsen is celebrated as a concert pianist and composer, having performed as soloist in concerts with major orchestras including the Royal Philharmonic and the London Symphony Orchestra. Renowned for several world premieres and recordings of previously unknown works of Liszt and Saint-Saëns, Larsen became the first pianist to make a CD recording of Saint-Saëns' solo piano music. In particular, Larsen's interpretations of Liszt, Grieg, Rachmaninoff and Saint-Saëns made significant contributions to the Romantic Revival and won acclaim from both audiences and critics.
