Georg Breinschmid: bass

The new album «Danzas» by Bulgarian pianist Dora Deliyska exhibits a colorful insight into the manifold world of the Dance. Whether in Greg Andersons Carmen Fantasy for two pianos on themes in Spanish style by Georges Bizet, in Le grand tango by Astor Piazzolla in an arrangement for viola and piano, the Dances in Bulgarian Rhythm by Bela Bartok or the Three Danzas Argentinas by Alberto Ginastera, the rhythms always inspire the listener to dancing moves of her own. The Tango by Igor Stravinsky, recorded in a version for violin and piano, and Balkandrom by Austrian musician and composer Georg Breinschmid stand for a very personal confrontation with the element of dance. Dora Deliyskas musical dancing partners are: Luca Monti - piano, Yury Revich and Florian Willeitner - violin, Nora Schwarzberg - viola, and Georg Breinschmid - bass. Dora Deliyska Dora Deliyska began piano lessons at the age of five. Surrounded by music in her family, she held her first concert at the age of nine. After musical training in her home city Pleven, Bulgaria, she attended the University of Music and the Performing Arts in Vienna, where she was taught by Professors Jürg von Vintschger and Stefan Vladar. In 2010, she graduated with a Master's degree there in the class of Prof. Noel Flores. The same year, she obtained the postgraduate diploma at the Oxana Yablonskaya Piano Institute in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, Tuscany, Italy. Her artistic development has been strongly influenced by master classes and individual lessons with renowned musicians such as Dmitri Alexejew, Mikhail Voskresensky, Karl-Heinz Kämmerling, Boris Bloch and others. Due to her many recordings of works by Franz Liszt (Gramola 98853, 98899, 98931), she is considered one of the most important Liszt interpreters of the young generation. But not only this has aroused the interest of the public: her Schubert CD released in 2013 (Gramola 98969) was awarded the 'Supersonic Award' by the classical music magazine Pizzicato.
