About the Pianist
Play &
Conduct Rudolf Buchbinder
Rudolf Buchbinder is one of the
legendary performers of our time. The authority of a career spanning more than
65 years is uniquely combined with esprit and spontaneity in his piano playing.
Tradition and innovation, faithfulness and freedom, authenticity and
open-mindedness merge in his reading of the great piano literature.
Under the title "The
Diabelli Project", Deutsche Grammophon released the world premiere
recording of the New Diabelli Variations in March 2020 alongside a new reading
of Beethoven's Diabelli Variations, which Buchbinder last recorded before in
1976. The double album marked the beginning of his exclusive partnership with
Deutsche Grammophon. Also in 2020, a live recording of Beethoven's 1st Piano
Concerto with Christian Thielemann and the Berlin Philharmonic followed.
Rudolf Buchbinder is an honorary member of the Vienna Philharmonic
Orchestra, the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Wien, the Wiener
Konzerthausgesellschaft, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and the Israel
Philharmonic Orchestra. He is the first soloist to be awarded the Golden Badge
of Honor by the Staatskapelle Dresden. As Artistic Director, he is responsible
for the Grafenegg Festival, which has been one of the most influential orchestral
festivals in Europe since its founding 15 years ago.
