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.
