Ariel Lanyi was honored with the Prix Serdang, a Swiss prize awarded by Austrian pianist Rudolf Buchbinder in recognition of a young pianist’s achievements and future potential. The prize is endowed with CHF 50,000 and is not a competition but a distinction for artistic promise.
Lanyi won third prize at the 2021 Leeds International Piano Competition, performing Brahms’ Concerto No. 2 with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra under Andrew Manze, and he was also a winner of the Young Classical Artists Trust International Auditions. He has appeared with orchestras including the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Mozarteumorchester Salzburg, Israel Philharmonic, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Sinfonia Viva and City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.
His recording of Schubert for Linn Records received critical acclaim. His album Organ Reflections, featuring piano works inspired by the organ by Mozart, Franck and Reger, was also released to strong critical response.
An active chamber musician, Lanyi has attended the Marlboro Festival and collaborated with artists including Maria João Pires, Marina Piccinini, Charles Neidich, Alena Baeva and Torleif Thedéen. Recitals have included Wigmore Hall, Fundación Juan March, Grafenegg Festival, Bravo! Vail and Merkin Hall. Born in Jerusalem, Lanyi studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London.
Program
Haydn — Sonata in G Major, Hob. XVI:39
Berg — Piano Sonata, Op. 1
Beethoven — Variations on a Waltz by Diabelli, Op. 120
Join acclaimed pianist Ariel Lanyi — praised for his authority, intellectual depth and precision — as he presents a bold musical expedition spanning the evolution of the piano sonata. This meticulously curated recital takes audiences from the classical elegance of Haydn’s sparkling Sonata in G Major, with its pastoral innocence and unpredictable shifts, to the iconoclastic shattering of traditions in Beethoven’s Variations on a Waltz by Diabelli. Lanyi then crosses the bridge from late Romanticism into the modern age with Berg’s Piano Sonata, providing patrons with an evening of musical virtuosity and a program showcasing classical music’s intersection of profound intellect and passion.
