Info zu Voltiges

Ob makaber (Saint-Saëns), diabolisch (Liszt), traurig (Vecsey), transzendent (Ljapunow), russisch, italienisch oder französisch, diese „Voltiges“ stehen für absolute Virtuosität. Nicht nur einen Hochseilakt, sondern gleich mehrere reiht der Artist Tristan Pfaff aneinander. Die ausgewählten Stücke von Chatschaturjan, Tschaikowsky, Rachmaninow u. v. a. spielt er in Bearbeitungen großer virtuoser Vorgänger: György Cziffra, Michail Pletnjow, Vladimir Horowitz u. a. Was unter den Händen des kongenialen Pianisten Tristan Pfaff erklingt, versetzt den Zuhörer in ungläubiges Erstaunen.

He has appeared as soloist with the Orchestre national de France, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre de Bretagne and the European Philharmonic Orchestra, among others. His first recording («live» at Auvers-sur-Oise), came out in 2010 under the DiscAuvers label, and a second, dedicated to Liszt, was released by Aparté in 2011. Tristan Pfaff is a winner of the Long-Thibaud Competition, Révélation Classique de l’ADAMI, associated artist for the Génération Spédidam programmes, and laureate of the Fondation Banque Populaire. In 2003 he was awarded a first prize by unanimous decision of the jury at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris. A sought-after chamber musician, Tristan is delighted to join this operatic group to share in a unique musical experience.
