Pianistischer Überflieger

In the organizer's words:

Program:
Franz Schubert: Piano Sonata No. 20 in A major D 959
Claude Debussy: "Des pas sur la neige" and "La cathédrale engloutie" from "Préludes" (volume 1)
Sergei Prokofiev: Piano Sonata No. 8 in B flat major op. 84

Someone is really taking off! Lukas Sternath, born in Vienna in 2001, had his breakthrough when he was awarded first prize and seven special prizes at the ARD Music Competition in Munich in 2022. Since then, the pianist has already made his debuts in some of the most prestigious concert halls across Europe, with more to come. You have to be able to cope with the associated pressure of expectation, but Lukas Sternath seems to have what it takes! Not only because Igor Levit is one of his mentors, but also because his mixture of technical brilliance and intuitive creative power proves that interpretative maturity is not a question of age. If Sternath can bring his art of dynamic differentiation to bear in Schubert's great A major Sonata, written shortly before his early death in 1828, his qualities as a sensitive painter of tone colors are in demand in Debussy's Préludes. Prokofiev's eighth piano sonata, on the other hand, is a haunting work of extreme contrasts with its lyrical, dreamy sounds and powerful, soaring passages.
