Fazıl Say Yeni hayat (New Life) – Piano Sonata, Op. 99 4 Ballads Kara Toprak (Black Earth) for piano Jazz Fantasies
Fazıl Say received minutes-long standing ovations following his captivating recital at the Mozart Week 2025 in the sold-out Great Hall of the Mozarteum Foundation. The celebrated Turkish pianist and composer often describes himself as a bridge-builder - between East and West, between early and contemporary music, between classical and jazz. His role models are the virtuosos of the 18th and 19th centuries, who captivated audiences not only with their playing but also with their own compositions. In this master concert, he draws a fascinating arc from Mozart’s sonata with the famous 'Alla turca', through the Impressionists Debussy and Ravel, to an impressive selection of his own works.
