WAGNER
Composer | Pianist
“The premiere of ‘Octocorallia’ by Alexander Maria Wagner on the roof top of the City Hall with the Callias Ensemble conducted by Jan Moritz Onken during the Athens Democracy Forum very much reflected the current state of democracy in the world.”
“[He] amazes from the first to the last bars with the undisguised directness of the playing and the clear, self-assured decisiveness of the statement.”
“…grabs hold with tremendous power and temperament, shapes excitingly ‘finished’ and striking, masters the many pianistic and musical hurdles with an overrunning bravura, as if they did not exist at all.”
