Miguel Kertsman

Composer

World premiere of “Concerto Carioca”

Miguel Kertsman’s new work “Concerto Carioca for 2 Pianos & Percussion” was performed at the Liszt Festival Raiding​ on June 15 by Eduard Kutrowatz, Johannes Kutrowatz, Josef Gumpinger and Georg Hasibeder for the first time.



It’s a fascinating disc, it’s a real melting pot of repertoire. Kertsman’s style is very, very varied. He plunges everything into his music, from jazz to world music influences. It’s sometimes atonal, but it’s never inaccessible.
