Rudolf Buchbinder returns to NCPA with Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden

NCPA May/22/2019
On May 21st, the piano virtuoso Rudolf Buchbinder, an authoritative contemporary interpreter of Beethoven’s masterpieces, returned to the NCPA with the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden.

Pianist and conductor Rudolf Buchbinder

In Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven’s time, a concerto was usually performed by the composer himself as he also conducted the performance. In order to return to the tradition and interact more closely with the orchestra, Buchbinder served as both pianist and conductor at the concert. 

Pianist and conductor Rudolf Buchbinder

In the performance, he created clear lines and rich colours, intensifying the youth given off by Beethoven’s first piano concerto and the emotional strength contained in the Piano Concert No. 5 “Emperor”. Meanwhile, the way of playing and conducting contributed to his tacit cooperation with the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden.

One concert remains on May 22nd, when Buchbinder will play and conduct the orchestra in a Beethoven’s second, third and fourth piano concertos.
