Adriel Gomez-Mansur is as yet unknown to most people. However appearances by this 17 year old prodigy in Lugano (Switzerland) and Beppu (Japan) have already created huge anticipation and excitement around this shy boy.

Discovered and protected by Martha Argerich, this amazing poet of the piano recorded this, his first, recital in May 2006 for avanticlassic. This first project includes works by Schubert, Rachmaninov, Chopin and Liszt.

Adriel Gomez-Mansur will certainly come as a revelation for many listeners as he combines a deeply poetic sensibility with amazing technique.

the cover for this album is 'Birthmark' by the Belgian Painter Cris Brodhal.
