David Greilsammer’s new album venture, ‘Labyrinth’, is a project that he has been developing since 2017 in a number of concerts given in New York, at the Ravinia Festival, Illinois, in Lancaster and Sheffield and at the Flagey in Brussels.  In 2005, the pianist - then still in his twenties - released his ‘Fantasie Fantasme’ and in 2014 he uniquely intertwined the sonatas of Scarlatti and John Cage. Here in this sensitively intimate new recital he shares a dream that has haunted him for many years, a dream where he makes his way through a musical labyrinth.

The fascinated listener can follow this trail here, while keeping hold of the thread and following the light, encountering composers both well and less well known, from every period and style, with whole works and ephemeral fragments cunningly interwoven. While reconnoitring music by Beethoven, Janáček, Satie and Bach, we also have the surprise of a first world performance of Repetition Blindness by Ofer Pelz - specially commissioned for the programme - and of a piano arrangement by Jonathan Keren of Chaos by Jean- Féry Rebel (also a first performance), as well as George Crumb’s mesmeric Magic Circle of Infinity.
