Melissa Galosi, piano

The Italian pianist Melissa Galosi opens the new III Edition with her debut album “Games”, on which she addresses a particular facet of two important composers: the joy of playing in Mozart and Kurtág. György Kurtág’s “Játékok” – “Games” in English – is a medley of works which investigate the creative wit of childish games. Galosi contrasts these with three major Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart variations which highlight once again the playful character of the composer from Salzburg, and which, in interaction with Kurtág’s work, promise a fascinating exploration of the spirit of creative joy in play.
