Key pianistic experiences
For some, legendary recordings are key experiences on the path to their own career. Anton Gerzenberg had the privilege of hearing one of the best pianists as a child, and not from a loudspeaker, but from the next room. His mother, Lilya Zilberstein, was a regular guest of Martha Argerich. Both he and his brother Daniel became pianists and founded the Gerzenberg Duo. All four performed together at the Wiener Konzerthaus in 2024.
Weightless piano music
Anton Gerzenberg became interested in contemporary piano music early on, which is why he studied with Pierre-Laurent Aimard. He is enthusiastic about pieces that you first have to work your way through and that free themselves from anything physical.
From Debussy to Boulez
He is now giving a piano recital with a sophisticated programme that ranges from Debussy to Stravinsky and Szymanowski to Boulez. The programme begins with a piece that was premiered in the Vienna Konzerthaus a good hundred years ago: Schönberg's Suite for Piano op. 25, an epochal composition that went down in history as the first completely twelve-tone work. The second half of the concert is also dominated by weightless works, with Debussy's »Six épigraphes antiques« and Stravinsky's homage to the impressionist composer. The furious second piano sonata by Boulez, whose 100th birthday is in 2025 and who is in the tradition of the other composers of the evening, will be heard at the end.
