http://www.dmitry-masleev.com/en/In the new format „Prime Time“, artistic performance practice and the history of music, as well as of a particular piece, take centre stage. The audience’s attention was directed towards the interplay of soloist and orchestra, as these processes were moderated explicitly; and each work was given a special introduction. Dmitry Masleev played beautifully; his interpretation possessed a wonderful maturity. Owing to the intimate spatial situation, the audience was absolutely in touch with events and able to follow the piano performance from close quarters. The artist was introduced at the start of the evening and spoke a few words himself. The concert was followed by a reception during which Mr. Masleev was able to present yet another side of his personality. Together with Simon Höfele, the evening’s trumpet player, he performed jazz standards by Gershwin. The format allowed everyone profound insights into music making and allowed the artist to present himself in a variety of different aspects, which he did with aplomb, giving a most remarkable debut. In 2020, Mr. Masleev will again be engaged at the Wiener Konzerthaus.
