Aleksander Dębicz, piano
Warner Classics Poland (May 1, 2015)
Highlighting the brilliant pianistic fireworks of virtuoso Aleksander Dębicz on his debut album for Warner Classics, Cinematic Piano combines spontaneous energy and vitality with a pinch of nostalgia and filmic tension. This artist is distinguished by a unique touch that brings out the instrument’s light and transparent qualities, while simultaneously remaining clear and precise. Particularly impressive are the shimmering, high-speed runs and breakneck acrobatics that Dębicz produces with a charming nonchalance and shameless ease. The piano, when under the fingers of the vibrant young Dębicz, grooves, flows and sparkles, with innumerable shades of color and emotion.
Born in Wrocław, Poland, Alexander Dębicz is a graduate of the Frederic Chopin University of Music in Warsaw, where his primary instruction was from prof. Elżbieta Tarnawska. Dębicz has participated in many national and international piano competitions, winning honors, special awards or achieving finalist status in many of them. Playing freely in a variety of musical styles, he is the laureate of numerous Polish and international competitions, including winner of the international competition of Instant Composition at the 2013 Transatlantic Instant Composition Contest. Alexander Dębicz has proven himself a versatile pianist and improviser. In 2014 he signed an exclusive artistic contract with Warner Music Poland.
