PIANO CONCERT - Mario Eritreo

Chopin quote: "Play Mozart in my memory – and I will hear you." His admiration for Mozart and other composers influenced his works.

"I would like to observe from him the way he interprets my works." This showed Chopin's respect for Liszt's technique, even though he rejected Liszt's improvisations on his own nocturnes.

Mario Eritreo connects these exciting aspects in a captivating piano concert that brings the nuances and peculiarities of the composers closer to the audience.

The Italian pianist and organist is among Europe's most sought-after artists. In 2016, he performed the complete cycle of the six organ sonatas by J.S. Bach at the Peterskirche in Vienna, a feat accomplished by only three other artists to date. Mario Eritreo collaborates with the most renowned orchestras in Europe and is particularly sought after for his fine sensitivity to the concerns of the compositions. A master of his craft, he feels equally at home in large concert halls as well as in the intimate setting of the crypt concerts.

The crypt is pleasantly temperate at any time of year.
