TenClub's Érard Series: Klára Würtz plays Beethoven, Schubert and Chopin

The Erard

The sound of this 1892 Érard from TenClub, restored with great precision and love, is original and unparalleled. The music that Klára Würtz will produce from the Érard is as the composers once intended it. After all, the 'timeless' pieces were not only created on such an instrument, but all the greats of classical music played on an Érard grand piano: Chopin, Mendelssohn, Verdi, Liszt, Ravel, Fauré, Wagner, Debussy and Diepenbrock, among others. just to name a few.

About Klára Würtz

The critic Robert Cummings called Klára Würtz (1965) one of “the most important pianists of the last decades of the 20th century”. Her performances are characterized by her “light but strong touch, smooth but sensitive technique and rare ability to strike a balance between graceful and soulful” (James Leonard for All Music). Würtz recorded more than forty albums with works by composers such as Mozart, Bartók, Kodály, Janácek, Liszt, Chopin and Debussy. Her recording of Mozart's complete piano sonatas was praised by Harris Goldsmith in International Record Review: ���Sensational! Würtz's pianistic finesse, (…) and especially her tendency to let the music speak for itself, represent a Mozart tradition at its best.”
