Stephane Ginsburgh Artist's Website >> -"Among the most exciting interpretations of the contemporary keyboard repertoire." Michel Debrocq (Le Soir, Brussels) Stephane Ginsburgh is a musician based in Brussels, Belgium. After finishing his studies at the Conservatory, he worked with Claude Helffer in Paris and Jerome Lowenthal in New York. He studies philosophy at the Free University of Brussels and is actually working on a translation to French of Eric. J. Hobsbawm's Uncommon People: Resistance, Rebellion and Jazz. He dedicates much of his energy to new music and collaborates with many young composers while keeping very close ties with the Classical repertoire. His implication in concert organisation in Brussels bears a strong political meaning as he insists on the necessity for artists to engage themselves into collective action. He often played as free-lance pianist for the Ictus Ensemble and collaborated with artists such as Garth Knox and the Danel String Quartet. Among many CD releases, he is now about to finish Morton Feldman's works for solo piano (5 CDs & 1 DVD, Sub Rosa), just recorded Vexations by Erik Satie on the composer's piano (Sub Rosa) and will bring together Prokofiev's nine piano sonatas (2 CDs, Fuga Libera). He is working on a project around Karlheinz Stockhausen's Klavierstücke and Kontakte with percussionist Miquel Bernat and designer Jim Clayburgh. Stephane Ginsburgh will perform Prokofiev's War Sonatas in New York, Montreal and San Francisco, and further concerts will take him to Spain and Israel.
