Concert Introduction

"Light and shade and fluency of rhythmic inflection."——《Gramophone》

"The last great authority of the Viennese Piano School," Rudolf Buchbinder possesses a profound and lifelong affinity for the German masters, most notably Beethoven and Brahms. 

Rudolf Buchbinder will join forces with Yao-Yu Wu, winner of the Besançon International Competition, and the NSO to present the monumental Complete Brahms Piano Concertos.

What Buchbinder holds in his hands is an absolute authority distilled directly from Brahms’s original manuscripts; what flows from his fingertips is the purest lineage of the Austro-German tradition. 

His mastery of Brahms is immortalized in three complete cycles of recordings with the world's most elite ensembles: the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Vienna Philharmonic, and the Israel Philharmonic.

Drawing from the profound insights of a career spanning over six decades, Buchbinder will offer an all-encompassing interpretation of the Brahms concertos—a true testament to a lifetime of musical devotion.
