Description
Pianist Martin Klett performs pieces by contemporaries Guastavino and Rachmaninov.
The harmonies and the virtuosity: that is what the two composers Sergei Rachmaninov and Carlos Guastavino have in common. "Even though at first glance the geographical distance between them was immense, their approach to the piano was strikingly similar", remarks Martin Klett. In both composers he loves the Romantic element paired with attractive simplicity in one case, with ambitious piano artistry in the other. "I don't think one could even say if this music is by Guastavino or Rachmaninov!]" (Martin Klett)
Martin Klett has made a name for himself as a solo pianist and chamber musician. Ever since winning the International Johannes Brahms Competition and the German National Music Competition, he has become a welcome guest at the prestigious music festivals of Lucerne, Schleswig-Holstein, Heidelberg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Schwetzingen to name just a few.
