Yamaha Music releases Danae Dörken’s Artist Portrait

“Music as language, the piano as a diary” is the title of Yamaha Music’s new feature of Danae Dörken.

“Exceptional talent and unwavering passion have defined Danae Dörken’s musical career ever since her childhood and have already put her on the world’s big stages. concerti magazine counted the then 26-year-old Dörken among the elite of a new generation of international artists, Crescendo called her the “discovery of the year”. The artist considers her music a means to restore balance and grant her some peace and quiet in the often stressful touring routine.”

“A discovery!” – Danae Dörken plays her debut at the Lucerne Piano Festival

28. November 2019

After her successful debut at the Lucerne Piano Festival, the “Luzerner Zeitung“ wrote:

“…Sie bot ein ebenso anforderungsreiches wie klug zusammengestelltes Programm mit einer solchen Überlegenheit und Ausdruckstiefe, dass man sich dieses Rezital durchaus auch im grossen Konzertsaal in den Rezitals der Berühmtheiten vorstellen könnte. Schon bei den drei Stücken der ersten Serie der «Images» von Claude Debussy bewunderte man ihre fein ­differenzierte Anschlagskultur und vor allem ihren Sinn für Farben.”

CD of the month in “Fonoforum”!

1. November 2019

“EAST and WEST” has been chosen as CD of the month in Fonoforum!

“Man begegnet nur selten CDs, in denen der musikalische „Flow“ sich durch das Medium des Klaviers (dieses – Zitat Emil Gilels – „nicht leicht bezähmbaren Elefanten“) so frei, so uneingeschränkt und fantasievoll beweglich entfalten kann wie hier. Die zwölf Schubert-Ländler D 790 etwa sind kaum schöner, „gesungener“ und erfüllter zu spielen.”

5 stars in all categories for “EAST and WEST”

30. July 2019

“The start of this recital is so passionately compelling that for a moment I thought that I’d put a disc of Martha Argerich in my player, only to discover that it was indeed the new ARS Produktion release of Danae Dörken playing the first of five preludes of Manolis Kalomiris: “Molto agitato ed appassionato”. Listening on I wondered if my ‘mistake’ was all that big. Both have an emotion rich background, giving their interpretations that extra zest; Argerich from Argentina, Dörken from Greece, a whole generation apart, but both having that rare pianistic feeling enabling them to adjust to different styles, and last but not least that phenomenal technique.”
