Kleine Zeitung: „Freigeist an den Tasten“
Otmar Klammer
Portrait of the Graz pianist Stefan Heckel on the day he receives the third Harry Pepl Prize (Monday, 22 November 2010, Orpheum Graz, closing night of the Austrian Soundcheck). The award of 4,000 euros from gamsbART (Graz concert promoter) launches Heckel's doctoral thesis on Pepl's work; at the end Daniel Riegler and Matthias Muche play a “Tribute to Harry Pepl”.
For it is to be devoted entirely to the oeuvre of the jazz guitarist and composer Harry Pepl, who passed away suddenly five years ago.
Between jazz, ethnic and Alpine music, musical freedom is always at the centre of the creative process for Heckel, as it was for Pepl.
