David Greilsammer "Labyrinth"
"A fantastical and disorienting adventure... a listening pleasure -" The New York Times
"Ingenious" Ingenious - The Sunday Times
Selected as Best Classical Tracks of the Year by The New York Times and Best Music of the Year by NPR
Recognised as one of today’s most interesting and audacious pianists, David Greilsammer is returning to Hong Kong following his sold-out Scarlatti: Cage programme in September 2022. Greilsammer has been invited to perform in the world’s greatest concert halls, presenting innovative projects, bold interpretations, and ground-breaking encounters between different artistic genres and disciplines.
His newest award-winning project, Labyrinth, is a musical representation of a recurring dream of an infinite labyrinth. Like a novel, Labyrinth is made of seven musical chapters, each featuring music from different periods, styles, and genres, each chapter representing part of the journey of his dream. The programme and the album have been awarded many distinctions, including by The New York Times, The Boston Globe, Pianist Magazines (UK) and more.
