Product Description
Fortepiano: Paul McNulty, Divisov, Czech Republic, 2009; after Anton Walter & Sohn, Vienna, 1805.
From the collection of Alexander Skeaping. Unequal temperament, A=430.
In Volume 3 of his widely acclaimed traversal of Mozart’s music for solo keyboard, fortepianist Kristian Bezuidenhout plays a modern reproduction of an 1805 Viennese instrument by Anton Walter. The programme includes the well-loved Sonata in F major K. 332, alongside Mozart’s very last composition for piano, the Variations K. 613. Kristian Bezuidenhout was born in South Africa in 1979. He began his studies in Australia, completed them at the Eastman School of Music in the USA and now lives in London. He is a frequent guest artist with the Freiburger Barockorchester, the Orchestre des Champs-Élysées, the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century, Les Arts Florissants, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, The English Concert, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and Collegium Vocale Gent, in many instances assuming the role of guest director.

Bezuidenhout Reaches Mozart Volume 3
Posted by Clive - Fish Fine Music on 13th Mar 2012
If you were lucky enough to catch fortepianist Kristian Bezuidenhout playing with the Australian Brandenburg orchestra last year you will know that he is without doubt one of the greatest Mozart interpreters on the world stage whatever the instrument. Certainly in tone and inflection his previous CDs for Harmonia Mundi have been revelatory.
