Emil Holmström & Timothy Young

Beethoven's Influence Vol.2 

Finnish pianist Emil Holmström has been described as an aesthete. Not in the sense of having an immutable style that has always remained intact, but rather, one that has consistently been the result of conscious choices, whether regarding his outfit, a detail of interior decoration at home, the planning of a concert program, or very concrete aesthetic considerations in a particular piano piece. Emil has performed as a soloist, chamber musician, and ensemble keyboard player throughout Europe, the Americas, Japan, and Australia. An ardent champion of new music, Holmström is a member Finnish groups defunensemble and the Grammy Award-winning Uusinta Ensemble, and plays as a regular guest with the Avanti! Chamber Orchestra. 

For a four-hand arrangement of Liszt's Totentanz, Emil is joined by Timothy Young, who is one of Australia’s most prominent and versatile pianists. He is frequently praised by critics for both his sensitive musicianship and ability to draw a veritable orchestral palette of sound from the piano. For 20 years he has been a Resident Artist at the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) and is the Head of Piano, training Australia’s most talented young musicians
