Chopin/ Woyke - Braiding Chopin

The present album 'Braiding Chopin' by Andreas Woyke is a continuation of his solo debut 'Braiding Bach'. Compositions by the Polish piano grandmaster of the Romantic period interact with the pianist's own compositions and together form a dramaturgical total work of art: both expressive and contemplative - and thus also a mirror of the human soul! The German pianist, Andreas Woyke, had an education shaped by various international influences - the Argentine pianist Aldo Antognazzi taught him in Siegen. In Cologne and Vienna he studies with the Russian pianists Pavel Gililov and Rudolf Kehrer. That time he won a number of international prizes: 1st prize at Brahms-Competition Hamburg, 1st prize at Austro Mechana in Vienna and 2nd prize and recital prize at UNISA Transnet competition in Pretoria.
