Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms
Luis Magalhães releases on 13 May 2025 a new album dedicated to the masters of the European tradition.
A dialogue with the masters!
In his most recent recording, pianist Luís Magalhães invites us on a journey through the universe of four of the most iconic composers in the piano tradition: Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Brahms. With the sensitivity and interpretative mastery that distinguish him, Magalhães builds a bridge between the expressive worlds of these geniuses, revealing both the continuity and contrast in their musical languages—from Mozart’s luminous clarity to Brahms’s romantic density. In each interpretation, he demonstrates profound respect for the spirit of the score, while also imprinting a personal vision that enriches the listening experience and renews the music for the audience.
