Info for Elmas: Complete Piano Works, Vol. 2

Als Wunderkind lernte Stephan Elmas Franz Liszt kennen und gab 1885 sein umjubeltes Wiener Aufführungsdebüt. Wie Chopin verband Elmas den Charakter von volksmusikalischen Tanzformen zu anspruchsvollen und zutiefst persönlichen Aussagen, und seine Mazurkas sind musikalische Gedichte und Gemälde, in denen sich Darstellungen von Alltagsszenen mit gefühlvoller Lyrik verbinden. Diese Weltersteinspielung des Spezialisten für armenische Musik, Mikael Ayrapetyan, liefert den Beweis für den großen Beitrag, den Elmas' Mazurkas zum Klavierrepertoire und zum musikalischen Erbe Armeniens und darüber hinaus leisten.

Mikael Ayrapetyan, Klavier

Mikael Ayrapetyan
was born in 1984 in Yerevan, Armenia, where he had his early schooling. His repertoire ranges from the baroque to the contemporary and includes rarely performed works of Armenian composers whose music had not until then been performed. He is actively engaged in the popularisation of Armenian classical music, organising concerts in major concert-halls of the world, and acting as producer, artistic director and pianist for these performances.
