Bösendorfer Piano Series: Enrico Pace

We have heard students of Enrico Pace many times in the Bösendorfer Piano Series, but tonight we hear the master himself! The evening starts with six pieces in five minutes: Schönberg clearly did not mince his words. Yet the 6 small piano pieces are considered his most expressive music ever. Then we hear perhaps the most intimate of all piano sonatas by Schubert, the Sonata in G major. After the break, 6 piano pieces are played again, but this time by Brahms, who took a little more time for it than Schönberg. The evening ends with Liszt's magnificent harmonic views of the imaginary Swiss Vallée d'Oberman.

Enrico Pace

Enrico Pace is without a doubt the most famous winner of the world-famous Dutch Franz Liszt Piano Competition. Since then, he has performed regularly in the world's major concert halls, with numerous renowned conductors and renowned orchestras. Pace is still regarded as the true musician among virtuosos: he turns the most difficult passages into pure poetry. "Enrico Pace orchestrates at the piano", wrote Trouw. In addition to his solo career, Pace enjoys playing in chamber music ensembles and maintains close collaborations with leading musicians such as violinist Leonidas Kavakos. Their recording of the complete Beethoven Sonatas for piano and violin was nominated for a Grammy Award. His passion for music and his constant pursuit of artistic excellence have made him one of the most celebrated pianists of his generation.
