Info for Elmas: Complete Piano Works, Vol. 1
Der armenische Pianist und Komponist Stephan Elmas war ein Wunderkind, das Franz Liszt kennenlernte und mit Rubinstein und Massenet eng vertraut war. Elmas' Leben wurde durch Krankheit und die Tragödie in seinem Heimatland überschattet, aber seine Musik spiegelt die Leichtigkeit seiner Technik wider, die eher an die Romantik von Chopin, Liszt und Schumann erinnert als an die schwierigen Zeiten, in denen er lebte, und seine handwerkliche Qualität verleiht seiner Musik eine magnetische Anziehungskraft. Mikael Ayrapetyan setzt seine gefeierte Erkundung des wiederentdeckten armenischen Klavierrepertoires mit der ersten Einspielung von Elmas' Gesamtwerken für Klavier fort.
Mikael Ayrapetyan, Klavier
Mikael Ayrapetyan
was born in 1984 in Yerevan, Armenia, where he had his early schooling. His repertoire ranges from the baroque to the contemporary and includes rarely performed works of Armenian composers whose music had not until then been performed. He is actively engaged in the popularisation of Armenian classical music, organising concerts in major concert-halls of the world, and acting as producer, artistic director and pianist for these performances.
