In a development that will surely please Kapiti concert-goers, the highly regarded German
pianist Michael Endres will give another Mulled Wine Concert on Sunday 10 April at 2:30
PM. International critics have described Endres as "one of the most interesting pianists
recording today". He has released 29 CDs during his career and his extensive
prizewinning discography includes the prestigious Diapason d'Or (France) which he was
recently awarded for the third time and the Choc du Musique which he has won twice. He
has appeared at major festivals and concert-halls all over the world. A prominent academic
musician, Endres had a distinguished teaching career in Germany, Norway and New
Zealand before he decided to concentrate on performance and recording.
His reviews from music publications have been outstanding: Diapason magazine said of
his 2018 release "Splendidly recorded by Cologne Radio, in an acoustic which allows the
piano to resonate with a fullness, a brilliance without hardness, and a breadth of sonority
which is ideal for Schubert, these works chosen by Michael Endres flow endlessly between
jubilation and drama." Endres has been recording recently in Melbourne and will publish a
new album later this year.
His Paekakariki programme will include the Mozart Piano Sonata No. 4 (K282), "Scenes
from Childhood" by Schumann, "Vallée d'Oberman" by Franz Liszt, and Schubert's Piano
Sonata in B flat major (D960).
Mulled Wine Concerts is now entering its fifteenth year of concerts in Paekakariki and
organiser Mary Gow says, " We have our beautiful sea-front hall and an attractive
programme to take us through these difficult times. What a pleasure it will be to hear
exquisite music in such a pleasant setting!" The performance is supported by the Creative
Communities Scheme.
