Beethoven is the beginning and the end for him, his “alpha and omega,” explains Rudolf Buchbinder. Consequently, the Austrian, who will celebrate his 80th birthday in December, has been counted among the very greatest Beethoven interpreters for decades. Reviews praise the “epic creative power” of his playing and the fascinating blend of artistic self-assurance and humility toward the work, with which he challenges old listening habits and, without fanfare, reveals a whole new Beethoven. Countless recordings bear witness to Buchbinder’s lifelong, intensive engagement with the classical repertoire. And Beethoven’s work, in particular, impresses him with its astonishing freshness and infinite depth. We are especially delighted that this legendary pianist will pay tribute to the master with a program of sonatas in his anniversary year, 2027!
