The man with the many pianos - Alexander Melnikov
Alexander Melnikov is as crazy as he is brilliant. Not only does he have an immensely wide repertoire, but he also plays many types of pianos. For his internationally acclaimed program Many Pianos, he brings no fewer than four historic keyboards with him to play alongside the Steinway concert grand piano. With fantasies from Bach, via Mozart, Chopin and Scriabin to Schnittke, Melnikov is the guide on an enriching journey of discovery through the minds of these composers. At the same time, in Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ, he highlights the development from the fortepiano to the modern concert grand piano.
The man with the many pianos - Alexander Melnikov
From harpsichord to concert grand piano
Alexander Melnikov distinguishes himself from many other pianists because the historic fortepiano and the modern concert grand piano have no secrets. To optimally highlight how the various composers dealt with the instruments of their time, Melnikov opted for the free form of fantasy. Imagine yourself in the living room of composers from three different centuries who explore their instruments while improvising.
