HOLGER MANTEY.

PIANO
DRUMS & SOUNDS

Solo--No-6.jpg

Lovely to see you here!

With my various projects, I have been on tour across 21 countries around the world. I play well-known pieces and rearrange them in startling and sometimes also shocking ways.

 

In my concerts music and entertainment are balanced in such a way that guarantees maximum enjoyment. My own original, catchy piano ballads serve to round off an amusing recital.

My musical interpretations range from Mozart to Gershwin to Bach to Jobim, so you can expect many different things except for one: that you will ever get bored.

I combine various instruments like drums, handpans, "chord boards," castanets, etc. with my grand piano. The result is a surprising interpretation of famous works and unexpected harmonies of different sounds.

If there is no piano on location, I will gladly bring my own mobile grand piano, which not only produces excellent sound but will also give your event a very special flair.

I look forward to your inquires.

On this page you will find the date and information for a GongKlang meditation: www.gong.de
It will be take place at the St.Lukas community hall,
Alexander Flemingstr. 14, in the university district (across from the shopping mall).

PIANO, DRUMS & SOUNDS-Bach bis Bonanza und Mozart bis Gershwin, die Solo-Programme von Holger Mantey

Ein Querschnitt der Solo-Programme von Holger Mantey an Piano, Drums und Sounds. Mit gängigen Kategorien ist der Pianist Holger Mantey nicht zu fassen. Elemente aus Klassik und Jazz, angereichert mit Improvisatorischem und Meditativem, gehen bei ihm eine neuartige und originelle Verbindung ein. Am stärksten ist der Pianist, wenn er bekannte Themen in ein neues, mit reichen Ornamenten verziertes Gewand kleidet, aus dem die Konturen des Originals immer durchscheinen.

Please share with your friends the YouTube video to help other individuals looking for chopin etude op 25 no 2 or piano masterclass chopin etude op 25 no 2 :) Plunge into piano music from Bach to Bolero. Today I want to play for you my adapation of the etude by Chopin. My program is an adaptation of the original compositions of old and new masters. Mantey's prodigious piano Holger Mantey was born in 1963 on the island of Ruegen. He completed classical piano studies with Professor Heinz Zimbehl and Sonja Großmann in Berlin.Mantey developed his own concept of piano music which had the stamp of multiple influences: may it be the classical music of Bach, right up to the modern and non-European. Under adventurous circumstances he fled from the GDR and went to Cologne. Ever since Mantey has made an impact as soloist and he played at many festivals in Europa, Asian and Africa. (Leverkusen, Frankfurt, Cologne, Perugia, Delhi, Bangalore, Bombay, Lisbon, St.Petersbourg, Izmir, Valladolid, Ankara a.o.). Concert tours took him to: Japan, Italy, Cyprus, Greece, Russia, Israel, Turkey, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Guinea, Cootie d'Ivoire, Portugal, Cap Verde, Spain, Japan, Pakistan, Lithuania,Mauritania, Senegal, Switzerland a.o. Along with the saxophonist Matthias Schubert from cologne he received the second prize at the International Competition for Young Arts in Duesseldorf. Mantey has been doing Radio and TV-recordings for many several stations:HR, WDR, NDR, 3SAT, BR, DLF, SR, MDR, RBB, Lit.TV,RAI(ital.) The virtuosity of the pianist has been acknowledged by competent sources. His technical ability is astonishing and his talent is impressive. What is most fascinating is Holger Mantey's talent to create an own expression with the piano. Familiar with the pluralistic style of the present times, he is rooted in the classical piano tradition and wanders into the world of sounds of romantic music and does not get caught in the jungle of arbitrariness. Holger Mantey knows how to differentiate and to individualise. Since the end of the eighties Holger Mantey is a name on the German festival circuit. He has played at many Festivals in German and abroad. In his concert which have taken him right upto Asia, Europe and Africa, has succeeded in questioning the separating lines between his especially kind of romantically music, classical music, and contemporary music in a creative manner, and in this way got different audience groups to get interested in his music. Wolfgang Sandner of the German newspaper FAZ expressed what others also find exciting in Holger Mantey's playing: "As if he had an entire musical cosmos in his head". In doing so, Holger Mantey plays lesser with conscious cross-references, however in his case a lot flows out of the spontaneous running of the fingers on the keyboard; he undoubtedly has mastered the art of what one could call "instant composing".

The storyteller on the PIANO.

Pianist Holger Mantey cannot be captured using common categories. Elements of both classical and jazz music, enriched with improvisational and meditational components, enter into novel and original connections in his work. The pianist's special forte is dressing well-known musical themes in a new, richly decorated robe through which the contours of the original always shine through.                                                                                                                                                                                            Uwe Engel
