Alice Sara Ott

German-Japanese pianist Alice Sara Ott presents her album, on which she immerses herself in the rarely performed world of John Field, the creator of the beloved 'Nocturne'.

Award-winning young Icelandic pop/classical musician Ólafur Arnalds uses a radical new approach to recording the music of Chopin. Arnalds developed an intimate, fragile and often charmingly imperfect sound using old/unusual/altered pianos captured on vintage recording equipment and various mixing techniques to re-enforce feelings of solitude or loneliness, and to create dreamlike ambient soundscapes. Pianist Alice Sara Ott joins and Ólafur has composed new works to link the album together.

Alice Sara Ott presents a new deluxe version of the successful Echoes of Life album, set for release on 27 October. Among the 11 newly recorded tracks complementing the original album are the famous Bach Prelude in C Major both on a grand piano and a specifically prepared upright piano, as well as Silvestrov’s Distant Music, Chopin Preludes and a new composition by Alice’s friend Chilly Gonzales. The album is now available for pre-order alongside the second pre-release track ‘Silvestrov: Distant Music’.

For her tenth Deutsche Grammophon release, pianist Alice Sara Ott returns to the music of Frédéric Chopin. She approaches Chopin’s 24 Préludes op. 28 from a fresh perspective, finding a personal thread that parallels the music’s dramatic arc and wide-ranging moods. The pianist frames the Préludes within a contemporary context by interspersing them with seven works by 20th- and 21st-century composers.

Alice Sara Ott's new recital combines Edvard Grieg's Opus 16 with a dozen of the more famous of his "Lyrical Pieces". His at first glance somewhat strange title "Wonderland", of course, alludes to Lewis Carroll's famous children's book "Alice in Wonderland", which appeared in 1865, the same decade in which Grieg wrote the first of his "album sheets" and his unabated popular piano concerto.

Rising star Alice Sara Ott’s new recording documents her summer 2012 rite of passage debut at the prestigious White Nights Festival. Alice Sara Ott’s challenging programme centers upon Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition and her virtuosic technique and youthful brilliance deliver the majesty, colours and spontaneity that this music requires.

Alice Sara Ott presents Nightfall, where she explores the transition and harmony between day and night, light and darkness. This recording showcases a collection of deeply emotional piano pieces by Satie, Debussy and Ravel.

Nach dem von der Kritik hochgelobten Album Echoes Of Life aus dem Jahr 2021 hat die Pianistin Alice Sara Ott für ihr neuestes Album eine Auswahl von Werken Beethovens aufgenommen.

German-Japanese pianist Alice Sara Ott is a performer who appears to care more about the score and the composer than about her image and interpretations. After promoting Lang-Lang, a pianist of maximal technique but debatable taste, DG has given Ott an exclusive recording contract, and her first release, the complete waltzes of Chopin, shows her to be a pianist of taste and restraint. That is not to say that her performances here are ever less than dazzling, because she plays with supreme ease, or any less than affecting, because she brings out everything in the scores, from sparkling wit to darkest melancholy.
