Richard Goode's journey through late Beethoven in Amsterdam

For Richard Goode, returning to Beethoven’s last piano sonatas is not an extraordinary event, but rather a form of periodic devotion.

Richard Goode delivers a gentile performance of a Mozart piano concerto, whilst Anne Thorvaldsdottir’s dark Archora is given an impressive performance.

Nicht weniger als sechzig grössere und kleinere Stars der klassischen Musikszene gaben sich beim Galakonzert in Verbier die Ehre. Ein grosser Erfolg für den Intendanten Martin Engstroem.

Two powerful symphonic statements by a Ukrainian and a Finnish composer flanking a calm and courtly concerto by Mozart: Jukka-Pekka Saraste and the London Philharmonic Orchestra, together with the American pianist Richard Goode.

In Goode’s performance, Beethoven’s sonata appeared equidistant from the music of Bach and Schumann that preceded and followed it in the programme. 

Mikko Franck’s Cleveland debut showed the conductor in fine form with a recent work of Julian Anderson, a Brahms symphony, and a Mozart piano concerto with Richard Goode.
