Dear Sirs,
My name
is Albert
Sassmann, I am an Austrian concert - pianist (see also Curriculum in Italian
and English on the end of the mail) and I have the honour to play a Piano Solo -
Recital in Rome in co-organization with the “Istituto Austriaco a Roma” and a
Roman concert promoting association.
The concert will take place on
Sunday, July 8th 2001 in Rome either in Marcellus Theatre or in
Casina delle Civette at Villa Torlonia. The title of the recital is “Soirée
de Vienne” and is a compilation of Viennese and Viennese influenced music
abroad. (Detailed Program on the bottom of the mail)
I
wanted to contact you directly if your Association would be interested to
promote a concert with this specific program in addition to my performance in
Rome. I will presumably also have an appearance in Marche some days later and
one in Alto Adige at this time. So please let me know if you are interested in
any artistic collaboration.
In order to gain a better impression of my
person and repertoire and program ideas please feel free to visit my Homepage,
where you can also listen to sound files, at http://members.tripod.de/albertsassmann
or the International Musician Database http://www.musiciansgallery.com/. Or

“Preiser-Records” (Distributor in
Italy: Florence International SRL,
Firenze) on any one of the following online shops: cdnow.com
, amazon.com
, or barnesandnoble.com
.
If my suggestions meet with your approval, then I would be happy to
further discuss them with you. Tell me if you prefer a collaboration via
Artist's Management Bureau. I look forward to hearing from you and will be
available at your convenience - also concerning any additional promotional
package including CD, press items and other publications.
In the
expectation of further communication I remain sincerely
Yours
Albert
Sassmann

CV Italiano
Nato a Linz io, Albert Sassmann,
pianista austriaco, ho svolto la mia prima formazione artistica presso il
Bruckner – conservatorio a Linz. In seguito frequentai la “Hochschule für Musik und darstellende Kunst
Vienna” ove seguii con profitto i corsi tenuti da professori del calibro del
Prof. Hans
Kann e Prof. Peter Efler.
Successivamente fui insignito del “ARCM Diploma with honours” al “Royal college of Music” di Londra. Ebbi,
inoltre, l’occasione di lavorare con famosi pianisti come Jacob Lateiner e
Tatiana Nicolaeva.
In occasione di diversi concorsi, nazionali ed
internazionali vinsi riconoscimenti come ad esempio il terzo posto nel concorso
internazionale di St. Nom-de-la-Breteche/Paris. Il programma dei miei concerti,
accanto alla “Wiener Klassik” ed ai temi impressionisti, si focalizza in
particolare sulla “2. Wiener Schule” con i suoi influssi sulla musica del
ventesimo secolo nonché su repertori internazionali in genere poco eseguiti. Ho
tenuto numerosi concerti non soli in Austria, dove, tra l’altro mi sono esibito
nel Konzerthaus di Vienna e nel Brucknerhaus di Linz, ma anche in paesi europei
come Germania, Portogallo, Francia, Belgio, la Polonia, la Repubblica Ceca
ed Italia nonché in paesi extraeuropei come in India ed in Cina.
