PLAYING RECITAL RUDOLF BUCHBINDER - Attergau Summer of Culture 2026

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)

Sonata No. 3 in C major op. 2/3

Sonata No. 8 in C minor, op. 13 "Pathetique"

Sonata No. 6 in F major, op. 10/2

Sonata No. 21 in C minor, op. 13 "Waldstein"

Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas - they are an inexhaustible creative wealth and are among the absolute milestones of piano music: from the early works to those of the "middle" period with the magnificent "Waldstein" sonata to his supernatural late work.

Rudolf Buchbinder is probably one of the most profound connoisseurs of these sonatas, having performed them in cycles over sixty times in his career on the world's most famous stages. It is his intensive study of the text of the work and the composer's life story that has made Rudolf Buchbinder one of the most sought-after Beethoven interpreters of our time.

It is a great pleasure and honor to welcome this artist to Attergau Kultur with a Beethoven recital one year before the great Beethoven year (200th anniversary of his death in 2027)!
