Regarded as “The Prophet Of The Piano”, Lubomyr Melnyk is one of the most exciting pianists on stage today – enthralling audiences with atmospheric soundscapes and his inimitable piano virtuosity.

A pioneer of Continuous Piano Music, Melnyk utilises extraordinary speed and an intuitive approach to composition to create seemingly electronic sounds from the piano, pulling listeners deep into another world.

Between 1980 and 1990 he released six albums, with ‘The Song of Galadriel’ listed as “one of the 10 most important albums of our time” by the Stereo Review magazine (now Sound & Vision), with a number of releases since with reputable labels including Sony Classical, Erased Tapes, Unseen Worlds and more.
