Justus Friedrich Eichhorn, the prodigious 15-year-old German pianist, makes a remarkable debut with his self-titled album, released on December 20, 2024, under Housemaster Records. This impressive collection of 12 tracks showcases Eichhorn's extraordinary talent and musical maturity, far beyond his years.
The album features a mix of classical piano concertos and solo pieces, including works by Joseph Haydn and Erik Satie, as well as original compositions. Eichhorn's virtuosity and expressive depth are evident in his performances of Piano Concerto No. 3, Piano Concerto D Major, and Piano Concerto No. 2, accompanied by the Chamber Orchestra Mannheim under the direction of his father, renowned musician Friedemann Eichhorn. His rendition of Satie's Gnossienne No. 1 and the original piece Skyscrapers in New York further demonstrate his versatility and artistic curiosity.
Eichhorn's meteoric rise in the classical music world is underscored by his performances on prestigious stages such as the Laeiszhalle Hamburg, Tonhalle Zürich, and Seoul Arts Center. A student of Grigory Gruzman at the Liszt School of Music in Weimar, Eichhorn has also studied composition and conducting, and has been mentored by Matti Raekallio at The Juilliard School. His multiple competition wins and sold-out recitals attest to his burgeoning reputation as a pianist of extraordinary promise.
With a duration of 1 hour and 34 minutes, this album offers a comprehensive showcase of Justus Friedrich Eichhorn's artistry, making it a compelling introduction to one of the most exciting young talents in classical music today.
