Fazıl Say's music, both as a composer and pianist, reflects life's vibrancy. His performances are unique, full of fresh ideas. Whether his own compositions or familiar pieces, he presents them in a new light. Say aims to connect with people through his music, creating a present and immediate experience.
He loves the surprise, the unpredictable, the spontaneous: Fazıl Say is an impulsive pianist, an artist through and through, who turns every one of his concerts into an experience. So it is absolutely fitting that he serves up an entire half of his current programme as a surprise – entitled »Fazıl Say à la carte«, he presents a compilation of his own heartfelt works. Chef’s suggestions, so to speak, composed and recombined each time by the pianist himself. What all his works have in common is a strong connection to contemporary themes. Franz Schubert’s last sonata represents the timeless antithesis to this – written in the year of the composer’s death, it touches on the deepest human emotions, reflecting joie de vivre, longing and a premonition of death in equal measure.
Turkish exceptional artist Fazıl Say performs chamber music with musicians of the hr-Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt. He pays tribute to an extreme sport, addresses human separation issues, and humorously depicts everyday Anatolian village scenes. Also, his specialty, Mozart's music will be featured. Multiple Fazıl Say performances are to be expected at "Trio & More". Concert duration: approx. 100 minutes including intermission.
A concert for two trumpets featuring two of the best trumpet players. Fazıl Say, the composer, tailored the concerto to their virtuosity and will also perform on piano alongside conductor Alain Altinoglu in Bach's Concerto for Two Pianos. The program also includes Elgar's orchestral arrangement of Bach's Organ Fantasy and Fugue and Elgar's "Enigma Variations."
