Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Fazıl Say

The Berlin Philharmonie welcomes Fazıl Say for a solo recital that dares the audience to keep their feet still, featuring Bach and Say’s own compositions.

At the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, Fazıl Say concluded his residency with the Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic with an evening of jazz, Ravel and his own symphony, capturing the restless energy of an Istanbul-style metropolis.

A concert of French music reveals – and suffers from – contrasting styles, attitudes and coherence in works by Ravel and Poulenc. 

Fazıl Say's Mozart is an acquired taste, but Paavo Järvi's Bruckner is a masterclass in how to conduct this composer. 

The performance of the young French mezzo-soprano was admired more for its correctness than for its seductiveness.

Fazıl Say dazzles as both composer and soloist with the Hong Kong Sinfonietta. 

The Ravel G major piano concerto is in fact a mind-bogglingly virtuosic pianistic endeavour requiring fingers of steel and trills of satin.

Fazıl Say returns to the Heidelberger Frühling with a velvety Mozart and mesmerising original compositions.

Fazıl Say plays at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées.

The Zurich Chamber Orchestra (ZKO)’s programme of “young high achievers” − Shostakovich and Beethoven − struck a positive chord at the Tonhalle this week.

Disappointing Mozart compensated by a lively new work by Fazil Say in Heidelberg. 

I had three things to be excited about on Friday evening: seeing Fazıl Say in a solo recital – which I hadn’t done in 4 years, going to Zorlu Center – Istanbul’s newest and, according to reports, most modern and acoustically pleasing concert hall. The third is private.As it turns out, all but one of them turned out to be worth the anticipation.

On Wednesday night the Turkish-born star pianist, all-rounder musician Fazil Say returned to the Konzerthaus in Berlin shortly after completing his successful year of artist-in-residence there. Say, who also composes and plays Jazz, is known for his unconventional approach.

Artiste en résidence de cette 69e édition du Gstaad Menuhin Festival, le pianiste et compositeur a livré un récital authentique, peu académique mais tout à fait passionnant.

Vibrante noche en el Palacio de la Ópera de La Coruña con la Sinfónica de Galicia apoyada por la Joven Orquesta, Fazil Say interpretando Ravel y un Sinfonia alpina compacta y expresiva.

Das Wort von den Ausnahmekünstlern war hier einmal angebracht: Patricia Kopatschinskaja und Fazil Say spielten mit unerhörter Prägnanz und unbändigem Temperament Sonaten von Janáček, Brahms und Bartók, wie sie selten zu hören sind.

Le pianiste turc a proposé un récital contrasté, passionnant dans Haendel et Haydn, nettement moins convaincant dans l'ultime sonate de Schubert.

La Real Filharmonía de Galicia acompañó cálidamente al pianista Fazil Say en un viaje por una interpretación auténtica e imaginativa.

Avec de forts partis-pris interprétatifs, le pianiste turc et la violoniste moldave ont proposé un récital riche et spectaculaire.

Hier soir, l’Orchestre de Chambre de Paris s’est trouvé de bien beaux partenaires... Rarement un concert aura montré à ce point que la musique est mouvement, action dramatique et souffle vital !

Fazıl Say, Gábor Boldoczki, Willi Zimmermann und das ZKO beschließen die Saison 2015/16 mit kontrastreichem Programm.

Fazil Say « par l’auteur », (K)ein Sommernachtstraum d’Alfred Schnittke, Messiaen et Chostakovitch. Un programme exemplaire, et une salle qui aurait mérité d’être pleine !

Einmal mehr präsentierte Fazıl Say zusammen mit der Camerata Salzburg seine außergewöhnlichen Kompositionen wie auch seinen interpretatorischen Einfallsreichtum in Mozarts Klavierkonzert. 

Fazil Say zog das Düsseldorfer Publikum mit seinem emotionsgeladenen Spiel in den Bann.
