Ein Abend großer Kontraste mit viel Leidenschaft, Nähe und Raum für Interpretation.

Am siebenten Abend schimmerte der Höhepunkt eines jeden Beethoven-Sonaten-Zyklus.

Oliver Schnyder hat durchaus zu einem eigenen Stil gefunden, der sich wie ein roter Faden durch den Abend zog und ihn als Meisterinterpreten auszeichnete.

Dans un programme qui va de Haendel à Adès en passant par Haydn, Beethoven et Liszt, le pianiste ukrainien impressionne par sa science du son, sa puissance, son génie de la caractérisation.

Colours poured in through a metaphorical stained glass window in Verbier's church.

Fidèle à sa volonté de présenter des jeunes artistes à l'orée de leur carrière, le Festival du Vexin accueillait le pianiste Jean-Paul Gasparian.

Zacharias ofreció un recital atípico donde hubo momentos de excelencia artística frente a otros en los que la interpretación resultó confusa y poco acertada, y del que cabe destacar la enorme maestría del intérprete sobre el sonido y su capacidad para proyectarlo.

Jean-Efflam Bavouzet's Edinburgh recital, which consisted of sonatas by Beethoven and works by Ravel and Debussy, was just pure delight, from first note to last. 

Concert en noir et blanc de Christian Zacharias, dont la première partie, décevante, ne laissait pas imaginer la seconde partie, qui fut un grand moment de piano.

Freshness and intensity were brought to Beethoven's later piano sonatas, including a convincing Hammerklavier, together with a welcome performance of his last work for solo piano.

A gladiatorial setting of one man, one piano, two thousand spectators: the piano's slightly rakish angle was going to allow a few hundred more people to see András Schiff's hands in action. 

Murray Perahia’s programmes are always tidily thought through, exploring interrelationships between pieces and building progressively, often from Bach to Chopin via Beethoven. This was no different, with Bach and Chopin the bread to a sandwich of late Brahms and lesser-known Beethoven and Schubert. Though the Chopin was a little abrupt, this was a thorougly satisfying concert.

There was a distinct buzz in the air prior to this evening’s highly anticipated recital, a rare solo appearance by American pianist Murray Perahia. His recital at the Barbican Hall sold out months ago, with tickets selling fast before the programme had even been announced.
