On 8 October at the Concert Hall following his recital there will be an autograph session with Lukas Geniušas, a prize-winner at the Tchaikovsky Competition, to mark the sale of his solo disc featuring piano cycles by contemporary Russian composers which was released in late September by the Melodiya label.
This release is not just the pianist’s first experience of working with a Russian recording company (over the course of his career he has already collaborated with NIFC, Art Classic, DUX and Piano Classics), but also the first disc of a prize-winner at the XV Tchaikovsky Competition.
A grandson and student of Professor Vera Gornostaeva, Geniušas stands apart for his artistic nobility and refined taste in the compilation of his programmes. For his debut Russian release the pianist has chosen works by Leonid Desyatnikov, Valery Arzumanov and Vladimir Ryabov written in the latter half of the 1980s and executed in the aesthetics of “new simplicity”.
Discs may be purchased in the foyer of the Concert Hall.
