Poetry and Vision

Poetry and Vision—under this theme, Tilman Krämer brings together works by Frédéric Chopin and Alexander Scriabin in his piano recital. Nocturnes, mazurkas, preludes, waltzes, and fantasies: within the very genres that led Chopin to poetic perfection, Scriabin crafted his own sonic world, characterized by mysticism and a rich palette of sounds. The result is a program that ranges from Romantic intimacy to the sonic frontiers of early modernism, bringing two extraordinary composers into a compelling dialogue.

Tilman Krämer is one of the most distinguished German pianists of his generation. WDR 3 credits him with “poetic sensitivity,” while Deutschlandradio highlights his analytical insight, with which he reveals musical structures without diminishing their emotional power. NDR Kultur praises his natural, organic interpretations, in which nothing seems contrived. His nuanced, singing piano tone makes every performance a listening experience that is as thoughtful as it is moving.
