Dieter Flury
"Dieter Flury found, despite all voluptuousness, a clear classical line and, above all, the perfect tone. A flute sound in its roundest, most beautiful, most mature form."-Wiener Kronenzeitung
Dieter Flury was born in Zurich, Switzerland, and studied with Hans Meyer (Tonhalle Zurich) and Ande Jaunet (Conservatorium Zurich). Since 1981, he has been Principal Flute of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as becoming its General Manager in 2005. Besides his orchestra activities, Flury is a versatile chamber music player (Vienna Wind Ensemble, Klangforum Vienna and Vienna Virtuosi) as well as soloist with prominent orchestras including the Vienna Philharmonic, the Vienna Symphony, the Zurich Chamber Orchestra, and the New Japan Philharmonic. Composers including Beat Furrer, Gyorgy Ligeti, Salvatore Sciarrino, Herbert Willi and Hans Zender wrote new works for him. Claudio Abbado entrusted Flury with the premiere of Uros Rojko's flute concerto at the Wien Modern Festival. Dieter Flury has made numerous recordings, among them Bach's Works for Flute and Organ and Mozart's Flute Quartets. Flury has been a professor at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz since 1996.
Maria Prinz
" . . . the deeply sensitive and at the same time elastic, never artificial interpretation of Mozart's D Minor piano concerto. Pianist Maria Prinz was brilliant. . . .she played with a delicate, natural, fluent touch and added as an encore the solo D Minor Phantasie." -Das Orchester
Maria Prinz was born in Sofia, Bulgaria, daughter of the famous Bulgarian conductor and composer Konstantin Iliev. She studied at the Music University "Hanns Eisler" in Berlin with Rudolf Dunckel, in Vienna with Jorg Demus and in Paris with Yvonne Lefebure. Prinz has performed in Austria, Germany, France, Belgium, England, Italy, Bulgaria, Israel, Japan and the USA. A high priority for her are the chamber music projects with members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, such as concerts at the Pacific Music Festival in Sapporo, Japan, in 2005 and 2006. Her recordings include piano concertos by Haydn and Mozart, Puccini songs with soprano Krassimira Stoyanova, and Brahms' sonatas for clarinet and piano with Alfred Prinz. Maria has taught at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna since 1987.
