Pianist Maria Prinz returns to Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall

Legato Arts is pleased to present Maria Prinz in a solo piano recital at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall on Friday, May 13, 2016 at 8:00 PM.

After recent performances of Schubert’s "Winterreise," with world famous baritone Matthias Goerne, Maria Prinz was inspired to build this program around Schubert’s great C minor Sonata, D.958. This late work of Schubert’s is paired with Beethoven’s late piano sonata, No. 27 in E minor and Haydn’s late Sonata in E-flat major, all written at the height of the respective composers’ careers.

The Viennese pianist is well-known for her performances of the landmarks of keyboard repertoire from this period, and concludes her program with a work of the Viennese composer Alfred Prinz.

Tickets are on sale now for the May 13th concert and are available through CarnegieCharge (212-247-7800), online at www.carnegiehall.org and at the Carnegie Hall box office located at 57th St. and 7th Ave. in New York City.

About Maria Prinz

Maria Prinz has performed with leading orchestras throughout Europe, including several performances with the Vienna Philharmonic, collaborating with renowned conductors Riccardo Muti at the Salzburg Festival and Seiji Ozawa in Vienna, and with Neville Marriner in Bulgaria. As a recitalist, she has appeared in the United States, throughout Europe and in Japan. Her chamber music collaborations include numerous performances with members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, including the flutists Dieter Flury and Wolfgang Schulz, and clarinetists Alfred Prinz and Peter Schmidl, among others. In the last few years Maria Prinz accomplished extensive concert and recording projects with famous French flutist Patrick Gallois, such as concerts in Weill Recital Hall/Carnegie Hall in New York, Purcell Room/Queen Elizabeth Hall, Milton Court/Barbican Centre in London and at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena. Their Naxos CD with Mozart Violin sonatas, arranged for flute by Patrick Gallois, was acclaimed by the press as one with "irresistible enchantment," their performance in Weill Recital Hall/Carnegie Hall as "memorable" and their ensemble playing as "mind-meld" and "above and beyond the norm." Their second Naxos CD with Beethoven Variations Op. 105 and Op. 107 was released in September 2015. "Patrick Gallois and Maria Prinz provide us with bravura performances of the two collections, both melifluous and nicely detailed" wrote Grego Applegate Edwards in Gapplegate Classical-Modern Music Review. Maria Prinz also recorded Haydn and Mozart piano concertos with the Sofia Symphony Orchestra, Brahms Sonatas for clarinet and piano with Alfred Prinz, Poulenc, Martinu and Brahms Clarinet Sonatas with Petko Radev, a disc of chamber music works by Beethoven, Glinka and Alfred Prinz. A Chandos CD "The 20th Century Concerto Grosso" with concertos by Erwin Schulhoff, Ernst Krenek and Vincent D'Indy with Maria Prinz, Karl-Heinz Schütz, Christoph Koncz and Robert Nagy as soloists and the Academie of Sankt Martin in the Fields under Sir Neville Marriner was released in October 2013.

The highlights of the 2015/2016 season are piano recitals in Berlin, Vienna and New York and a new project with world famous baritone Matthias Goerne. After their very successful "Winterreise" by Franz Schubert in 2015, Goerne and Prinz will perform "Die schöne Magelone" by Johannes Brahms in a series of concerts. Maria Prinz was born in Sofia, Bulgaria, into a musical family. Her father is the famous Bulgarian conductor and composer Konstantin Iliev. She studied at the Music University "Hanns Eisler" in Berlin with Rudolf Dunckel, in Vienna with Jörg Demus and in Paris with Yvonne Lefébure. In addition to her performing career, she has taught at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna since 1987. For more info: www.mariaprinz.com
