Niel Immelman (piano)About
As a student, Novák had resented the strict discipline required by the formal study of harmony and counterpoint but in time he honed his contrapuntal skills and became more daring in his use of dissonance. Moravian and Czech folk music, which at first merely added a touch of the exotic, became an essential part of his musical language. (Niel Immelman)
Niel Immelman studied with Cyril Smith, Ilona Kabos and Maria Curcio. He was still a student at the Royal College of Music when Bernard Haitink invited him to play Rachmaninov’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. This highly successful début was followed by further appearances with the London Philharmonic, the Royal Philharmonic and other major orchestras at the Royal Festival Hall, the Albert Hall and the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, and it marked the beginning of a distinguished concert career that has taken him to every continent. His commercial recordings have received outstanding critical acclaim and have featured in Classic CD magazine’s “Pick of the Year”.
Niel’s extensive repertoire ranges from the Elizabethan virginalists to the present and he has given a number of world premičres. He has long had a special interest in Czech music and he is the first and, until now, the only pianist to have recorded the complete piano works of Josef Suk.
