The Most Beautiful Sound Next to Silence

30.08.2012

What is the connecting link between the Swiss cellist Thomas Demenga and the Hungarian pianist Dénes Várjon?
For everyone in search of the perfect sound the answer seems too obvious. 
Through decades of tireless creativity their sound has become the trademark of the renowned fortress of European “sound” – the record label ECM, highly praised for its selection of music as well as the selection of musicians. The critics have named the characteristic transparent sound of ECM recordings the most beautiful sound next to silence.
But nevertheless, all music is unpredictable as it cuts and resounds into silence, it's more vivid and breaths deeper when we listen to it live.
After almost a century Dénes is returning to Maribor. For just a quick taste of the assorted variety of piano pieces, let us only mention his world-renowned and awarded repertoire of Liszt’s works - a renewed tribute to the great composer and virtuoso pianist that has, many years ago, played in Maribor himself and Messiaen’s Visions de l'Amen (Visions of the Amen) for two pianos, which he will perform in a tandem with his wife, the wonderful pianist Izabella Simon.
