“Fire and ice fused to create playing of real character, alert yet also majestic and hugely impressive” Gramophone
“Mr. Bezuidenhout’s performance showed that the fortepiano’s compactness, and the physicality of the solo line, explain a lot about Mozart’s piano writing.” The New York Times
A succession of three of Beethoven’s piano concerti will be exquisitely rendered on fortepiano—predecessor of the modern piano—by Kristian Bezuidenhout, 18th century keyboard specialist. His performance will be accompanied by the refreshing Freiburg Baroque Orchestra on an ensemble of historical instruments in an exhilarating evening capturing the composer’s ideal sonority. The second concert is a vivacious, graceful all-Mozart evening, featuring both his piano concerti and concert arias.
