“When his fingers touched the keys, waves of airy filigree, beautifully formed and finished, emerged in almost uninterrupted streams for his two-hour solo recital.” (The New York Times)
Mao Fujita won the Clara Haskil piano competition in Switzerland in 2017, and shared second prize in the Tchaikovsky piano competition in Moscow two years later, making him one of Japan's – and the world’s – fast-rising young pianists, with specialties in both Mozart and the Romantics. For his Singapore debut, he brings two sets of 24 preludes: the poetic diversity, ranging from volcanic energy and disturbing violence to haunting stillness and atmospheric illusion, of Scriabin’s 24 Preludes, Op. 11, and their famous predecessor by Chopin that inspired them.
