Hamburg pianist Sebastian Knauer is one of the most versatile and dazzling artists in the classical music business. In addition to his many solo activities, he is regularly invited by orchestras around the world and performs with artists like Daniel Hope or actors like Klaus-Maria Brandauer. In recent years he has also gained a reputation as an innovator in classical music. Arash Safaian's compositions "ÜberBach" and "This Is (Not) Beethoven", which Knauer presented as world premiere-recordings positioned him in the international charts. Now he makes himself a special present for his 50th birthday: he commissioned the legendary composer Michael Nyman ("The Piano") to write 6 new compositions for him. These titles are complemented with some Mozart pieces. This is how classical music comes alive!
