Les Contraltos

"With his extraordinary pianistic talents, Fazıl Say has been touching audiences and critics alike for more twenty-five years. His outstanding technique very quickly enabled him to master the so-called warhorses of the repertoire with sovereign ease. Fazıl Say has played with all the famous American and European orchestras and numerous leading conductors. In addition, Fazıl Say also appears regularly in chamber music: for many years he formed a fantastic duo with the violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja, and among his other notable partners are the Argentinian cellist Sol Gabetta. His recordings of works by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Gershwin and Stravinsky have been highly praised by the critics and won several prizes, among them three ECHO Klassik awards. Following several recordings dedicated to his own compositions, Fazil Say is returning to the core classical repertoire, through three milestone works of Beethoven: 'Moonlight' and Opus 111 sonatas, as well as the third Piano concerto, with Francfort Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Gianandrea Noseda, a prestigious conductor that also did recordings with other classical stars such as Rolando Villazon, Anna Netrebko, Ildebrando d'Arcangelo, London Symphony Orchestra etc."
