For Rudolf Buchbinder, Artistic Director of the Grafenegg Festival since 2007, Grafenegg is a place where «music and artists meet the public amid nature». From chamber music, his first love, to the great piano concertos, the pianist’s profoundly human touch is esteemed in concert halls worldwide. An expert in source research, he has a personal collection of original and first editions of the piano repertoire. With over 100 DVDs and CDs to his name, recent releases include a live recording with the Vienna Philharmonic of Brahms’ Piano Concertos. Especially acclaimed are his recordings of complete cycles, including piano works by Haydn and Mozart and his unique DVD of all 32 Beethoven sonatas live in Salzburg. At Grafenegg 2019, Buchbinder focuses on piano concertos by Beethoven and Mozart at the Wolkenturm.
