Praised by Menahem Pressler for his “uniquely beautiful sound and special sonority“, German pianist Julius Asal is quickly establishing himself as one of the promising performers of his generation.
In October 2023, Deutsche Grammophon announced the exclusive signing with Julius Asal. Moreover, he was recently selected as a BBC New Generation Artist.
In March 2025, he received the Terence Judd-Hallé Award and became the first-ever ASMF BBC New Generation Associate of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields.
The young pianist, named as Rising Star 2024 by Classic FM, has performed in prestigious concert halls such as Wigmore Hall London, Musikverein Vienna, Suntory Hall Tokyo, Seoul Arts Center, and Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. He is also a regular guest at major festivals, including Oxford Piano Festival, Klavierfestival Ruhr, Rheingau Musik Festival, Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad, L‘Esprit du Piano Bordeaux, and the Piano aux Jacobins Toulouse.
Julius Asal’s debut album (2022) was released by the Spanish label IBS Classical featuring works by Sergei Prokofiev as well as Asal‘s own arrangements from the ballet “Romeo and Juliet”, which gained international recognition.
His first album for Deutsche Grammophon, “Scriabin-Scarlatti,” was released in spring 2024.
His interpretations and the composition of his programs were described by the French newspaper Le Monde as “enchanting uniqueness,” with the headline, “The secret and subtle alliances of Julius Asal.“
