Possessing the "genuine Beethovenian flair" (Los Angeles Times) seen only in the most exceptional artists, Rudolf Buchbinder continues his traversal of the composer's complete piano sonatasto be performed in their entirety at Cal Performances over the coming seasons. Buchbinder is firmly established as one of the most important pianists on the international scene, and his Berkeley recital in 2004 was a resounding triumph. With more than 100 recordings to his name, his standing-room-only concerts with the world's finest ensembles and conductors attest to the presence of an artist of rare maturity and depth.
