Florian Krumpock - BERG/BRAHMS

Alban Berg and Johannes Brahms are surely among the most important composers of their time. Even if they are separated chronologically and stylistically, there is a link: Brahms was only 20 when he wrote his Piano Sonata in F minor, Op. 5, his third and last in the genre. After Alban Berg composed his Piano Sonata, Op. 1 he never wrote another. Pianist Florian Krump�ck presents these two contrasting yet comparable works on this recording. Internationally celebrated as both a soloist and conductor, Florian Krump�ck has more than proven his outstanding capability on the international concert scene. Appointed as one of the youngest music directors in German history in 2011, Krump�ck characteristically masters enormous amounts of opera and concert literature as well as piano repertoire, and particularly enthrals his audiences with his double function as a soloist and conductor.
