Ronald Brautigam, fortepiano
One of the leading pianists of his generation, Ronald Brautigam is one of the few to perform at the highest level on modern as well as period instruments. A student of the legendary Rudolf Serkin, he has over the years established himself as an authority on the classical and early romantic composers, with an acclaimed discography on the BIS label that includes complete cycles of works by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven as well as recordings of solo works and concertos by Kraus, Weber and Mendelssohn.
Ronald Brautigam has performed with leading orchestras across the world – from the Amsterdam Concertgebouworkest to the Sydney Symphony Orchestra – as well as the foremost period ensembles.
Ronald Brautigam has recorded piano concertos by Shostakovich, Hindemith and Frank Martin with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra conducted by Riccardo Chailly, as well as several discs with violinist Isabelle van Keulen.
His recordings have earned him a number of awards including four Edisons, two Diapason d’Or de l’Année, and two MIDEM Classical Awards, for best solo piano and best concerto recording respectively.
His editorial work includes a reconstruction of the orchestra score of Beethoven’s piano concerto WoO4 from 1784, as well as an edition of the 5 piano concertos by Johann Wilhelm Wilms, published by Ries & Erler in Berlin.
