"Every art academy is the worst for us." - Thomas Bernhard

Unexpected doors and paths opened up to him through the research and development of Austrian musical art from the 17th and 18th centuries in relation to his Admont clavichord. A varied occupation that will keep him busy for a long time after the CD production.

Alexander Gergelyfi lives with his family in Vienna and in the moment.
