Where do piano music and the noblest of all diamonds meet? Nobility, technical finesse, and the beauty of reflection can only explain a part of our fascination for diamonds – there remains a mystery, an inexplicable depth. It’s the same with the musical works that pianist Johannes Obermeier has brought together in his GENUIN album “Brilliants”. Schumann’s radiant “Carnaval”, Ravel’s sparkling “Valses nobles et sentimentales”, Chopin’s and Godowsky’s dazzling etudes, and Obermeier’s own variations on a Schumann motif are mirrors and reflections of each other. This CD production is part of the Carl Bechstein Special Prize of the ARD Music Competition 2022 – one of numerous awards the young exceptional musician has earned in the past two years. A promising debut album
