LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Noeck Records) - 20 November 2009 will see Pianohaus Metz in Regensburg, Germany, showcase Classical singer Wilhelm Pfeiffer's sophisticated and rare arias and art song recital. Working his way through compositions by Haydn and Mozart this time, Wilhelm Pfeiffer will team up with well-versed pianist Larissa Swarovsky. The event will also give exposure to the vocalist's 2008 debut album 'Klassische Balladen/Classical Ballads', which, only four months after the official release and having received airplay on 23 stations worldwide so far, was licensed out to Boston-based production music library Louarmusic for placement in TV, film and advertising, and was further included in the catalogue of Blue Pie Productions from Australia for distribution and licensing lately. Eventually, 26
September 2009 saw an entire live performance by the artists aired simultaneously as an intercontinental syndicated radio broadcast by two
Internet radio stations based in Vienna and New York.
George Young of Country Club Productions from Prospect in Australia: 'It's amazing what you can do with one strong voice and a sensitive piano player. This is a wonderful disc that has strong appeal for fans of the genre.'
Says Jopie den Dulk of Burgenla"ndische Volkszeitung Week 11, March 2009 from Neusiedl am See in Austria: 'A beautiful selection of works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Joseph Haydn; an interesting evening [5 March 2009] full of music leaving many in the audience riding on a wave of excitement... '
Doris Schleifer-Ho"derl of Mostviertel-Basar No 238, November 2008 from Amstetten in Austria: 'This is an album for connoisseurs and experts! Baritone Wilhelm Pfeiffer and pianist Fabricio Moreira formed a congenial team whose musical togetherness literally merges into one - Viennese Pfeiffer's picturesque expressiveness guides you on a journey into the highly diverse world of classical ballad performance, backed by stellar pianist Moreira from Brazil. Our musical journey on this album calls on Bartholdy's 'Reiselied', Schubert's 'Sehnsucht' and Grieg's 'Herbststurm', and continues to with performances of 'Blondels Lied' by Schumann and Wolf's 'Der Feuerreiter', all flavoured by Wilhelm Pfeiffer's captivating style. You can take it from me; the performances on this album (just arrived fresh from the pressing plant) are true refreshment and treat for any music lover!'
