MATYÁŠ NOVÁK - piano recital

After several years, Matyáš Novák - the most promising pianist of his generation - will perform in Mariánské Lázně. At the age of ten he performed for the first time with an orchestra, at nineteen he made his debut at Carnegie Hall, and at twenty he presented himself in a solo recital at the Prague Spring Festival. His extraordinary musical talent is evidenced not only by his own imagination and transcriptions inspired by the works of great composers or folk music, but also by the fact that at his young age he has in his repertoire forty concerts with orchestra and hundreds of compositions for solo piano.
In his recital "Miraculous Nature", Matyáš Novák will present a selection of pieces from the world piano repertoire inspired by nature, i.e. animals, plants, natural phenomena and the weather.

Programme:

• F. Liszt: Years of Wandering, Year I, Switzerland (selection)
• C. Debussy: The Moonlight (from the Bergamo Suite cycle)
• A. Dvořák: Poetic Moods, Op. 85 (selection)
