Информация о мероприятии
With his exceptional musicality, sheer endless technical ability and pioneering spirit, the extraordinary organist Cameron Carpenter is already leaving his mark on recent music history. Ever since the completion of his own instrument, the International Touring Organ (ITO) in 2014, Cameron defies initial scepticism towards this digital instrument and established the ITO on the world’s most prestigious stages. By now, he almost exclusively performs on the ITO, be it in recital or concerto appearances. This tailor-made instrument, based on Carpenter’s own plans, allows him to perform at almost any location worldwide. Thus far, he has taken it on tour to Australia, New Zealand and Asia in addition to numerous appearances around Europe and the US.
In spring 2016, following the ECHO winning release of If You Could Read My Mind (2014), his second album for Sony Classical, All You Need is Bach appeared, ‘unconventional’ and ‘supremely agile’ (Rolling Stone). Additionally, Carpenter was the first organist ever to receive a Grammy nomination for his album Revolutionary (2008) which he recorded for Telarc who have also released his Bach recording Cameron Live!
Selected highlights in the 2016/17 season in Europe include recitals with the ITO at the Lucerne Festival, the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona, Konzerthaus Berlin, Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, the Philharmonie Köln, following an invitation from the Théâtre de Châtelet at the Paris Cité musicale de l’île Seguin, as well as in Zagreb, Ljubljana and Vienna. Furthermore Carpenter will appear as soloist with Orquesta Nacional de España unter the baton of Jakub Hrůša in Madrid, Chamber Orchestra of the Bavarian Radio, Orchestre National de Lyon with Leonard Slatkin and in the context of Salzburg’s Easter Festival with Staatskapelle Dresden under the baton of Myung-Whun Chung.
