Echoes of Light: Andrius Zlabys in Madrid

Pianist and composer Andrius Zlabys will perform his ‘Echoes of Light’ programme at the Auditorio Nacional in Madrid on 7 February 2025. He met with the esteemed magazine Melomano to talk about his work as a composing performer, Johann Sebastian Bach, César Franck and Luis Gustavo Prado.

What is the main theme of the recital, entitled ‘Echoes of Light’?

The recital is named after my piece with which I will be closing the program. The piece is a homage to Mozart. Echoes of Light is, in part, an idea—that music, in its many manifestations, is reflection, echoes of something ancient and eternal - primordial human gestures.

Sergei Babayan in his new solo recital programme SONGS at Mannheim's gorgeous baroque castle:

"A Meditation on the Highest Pianistic Level. - Lean back and savour! Sergei Babayan undertook a remarkable musical journey through the world of melody, with his solo recital programme SONGS. [...] Babayan got into a melodic flow of colours, putting at the centre multi-faceted phrasing, changing moods, virtuoso playing and joyful pianism, in short: the purity of music itself. The listener could lift off into a sphere of sound. Playing all pieces as one big suite, the artist had one work modulate into the next, without ever dropping the tension of the musical story and atmosphere - a meditation of the highest pianistic echelon." (Die Rheinpfalz)

"Drama in Music and Virtuoso Coups. - The night was marked by Babayan's phenomenal virtuoso powers, his incredibly refined sense of sound, and his constant control in forming a musical story. Babayan proved to be an exceptional storyteller and communicator of dramas of sound. The atmosphere was immediately loaded in unique intensity with the opening Schubert songs, from the intense 'Aufenthalt' to the dark, menacing bass line of 'Stadt' to the nightmarish contrasts of 'Gretchen am Spinnrad'. What a climactic eruption then in the sound atmosphere of 'Erlkönig's catastrophic drama. Virtuoso playing of the highest level." (Mannheimer Morgen)

Andreas Scholl’s 2024 album "Invocazioni Mariane" recorded with the Accademia Bizantina - Ottavio Dantone under the direction of Alessandro Tampieri has won the International Classical Music Award! The ICMA selected his recording for the prestigious award in the category ‘Baroque Vocal’.

Invocazioni Mariane
Porpora – Vinci – Anfossi – Pergolesi – Vivaldi – Ragazzi
Andreas Scholl, Accademia Bizantina, Alessandro Tampieri
naïve V5474

“Andreas Scholl lends his still extremely agile voice to the Blessed Virgin Mary and effortlessly manages to project an essential purity. With the appropriate modesty, he sings the cantatas from baroque Italy: with gripping drama and melancholy in Porpora, with great sympathy in Vivaldi’s Stabat Mater. A central role is played by the virtuoso violin of Alessandro Tampieri, who leads the Accademia Bizantina as its concertmaster.”

The winners receive the ICMA trophies during the annual Award Ceremony that will take place at the Tonhalle in Düsseldorf, on 19 March 2025. This evening will also include a Gala Concert with the participation of several of the winners and the Düsseldorfer Symphoniker conducted by Adam Fischer.
