Can Çakmur piano

Can Çakmur, winner of the Hamamatsu and Scottish International Piano Competitions, has harvested a heavy crop of plaudits for his revelatory Schubert+ series for BIS Records. Schubert’s 4 Impromptus D899, composed in 1827, stands at the heart of the Turkish pianist’s recital, paired with Helmut Lachenmann’s Variations on a Theme of Schubert (1956) and Liszt’s impassioned ‘Vallée d’Obermann’, among the most intense expressions of yearning ever composed.
