about

Lars David Kellner doesn't compromise when it comes to his music: When the native Bavarian takes on a composer, he absorbs him completely. In 2013, he records the complete original piano works by Leos Janacek on three CDs - from the large, well-known cycles to the smallest fragments - and causes an international sensation with this most comprehensive audio document of the Czech composer to date.
