Can Cakmur - Can ?akmur: First Prize Winner, Hamamatsu International Piano Competition 2018

On the 3rd January 2019, only a few weeks after winning the 10th Hamamatsu International Piano Competition, Can �akmur returned to the ACT CITY Concert Hall in Hamamatsu in order to record his d�but disc. Can�s chosen programme reflects his wide-ranging musical interests � from Haydn�s late F-minor set of variations and Schubert�s early Sonata in E flat to Sacrifice from 2017, composed by Fuyuhiko Sasaki for the competition. Opening with Liszt�s transcription of the Beethoven song Adelaide, the amply filled disc also includes Bart�k�s challenging Out of Doors and Black Earth by Can�s compatriot, the Turkish pianist and composer Faz?l Say.
