The Source

We are delighted to announce the start of a collaboration with the 16-year-old German pianist and composer Justus Eichhorn. His upcoming DG debut album The Source blends exceptional artistry, compelling storytelling and a fresh creative perspective, all deeply rooted in his hometown of Weimar.

At such a young age, Eichhorn is already emerging as one of the most exciting new voices in classical music, captivating audiences both on stage and online with his creativity, virtuosity and distinctive artistic vision. His album brings together works by Bach, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Hindemith and Richard Strauss, while also showcasing his talents as a composer and arranger. Alongside three world premiere recordings of his own works, The Source features his unique arrangement of Vivaldi and imaginative reworkings of studies by Czerny, creating a programme that bridges tradition and innovation.

With sold-out performances across Europe and Asia and a global community of more than half a million followers across social media platforms, Eichhorn is connecting with a new generation of classical music listeners. Whether performing on international stages, sharing insights into his artistic process online or creating original compositions, he represents a new generation of classical artists: authentic, entrepreneurial and deeply engaged with their audiences.  

The full album is released digitally, on CD and on vinyl on 11 September. Pre-order the CD and vinyl editions in the DG Store.
