life and work

Florian Noack was born into a musical family. His father is a professional flautist. His mother plays the same instrument in her spare time. At the age of four, Noack began to learn piano first with Yuka Izutsu and later with Michel Wiggers - both professors of piano at the Conservatory of Mons. At the age of 11 (2001) he was accepted at the Chapelle musicale Reine Élisabeth in Brussels, where he improved his pianistic skills in courses with Abdel Rahman El Bacha , Brigitte Engerer , Dmitri Baschkirow and Vitaly Margulis . At the age of 16 Noack went to Vassily Lobanov at the Cologne University of Music and later to Claudio Martínez Mehner at the Basel University of Music. He won prizes in music competitions, including the 2011 International Rachmaninov Piano Competition for Young Pianists in Frankfurt and the 2012 International Robert Schumann Competition for Piano and Voice in Zwickau. In 2015 he received the Echo Klassik as Young Artist of the Year .

In the tradition of the great pianists of the late romantic period, Florian Noack transcribes orchestral works for his instrument and performs them. He also performs rarely heard works from romantic and post-romantic piano literature. As part of this project, for example, he will record the entire piano works of the Russian composer Sergej Lyapunow on sound carriers.

The music review particularly emphasizes "his ability to subtle plastic shading on the one hand, but also to orchestral sound power on the other hand".
