Asal Nutcracker Improvisations
Praised by Menahem Pressler for his “uniquely beautiful sound and special sonority”, German pianist Julius Asal is quickly establishing himself as one of the promising performers of his generation.
In October 2023, Deutsche Grammophon announced Julius Asal as one of its new exclusive recording artists. The following year, he was selected by BBC Radio 3 as a New Generation Artist for a two-year collaboration, and named Rising Star 2024 by Classic FM.
In 2025, he received the Terence Judd–Hallé Award, making his recital debuts at the Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre and Kadoma Lumiere Hall in Osaka, Alte Oper Frankfurt, and appearing as soloist with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, the BBC Concert Orchestra, Munich Symphonic Orchestra and the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
