Khatia Buniatishvili: Piano Recital at Philharmonie Berlin

About the Event

Hear masterworks by Bach, Chopin, Liszt, Mozart, Prokofiev and Rachmaninowv performed by pianist Khatia Buniatishvili in Berlin‘s famous Philharmonie.

Keyboard lioness and grand piano storming champion: the synonyms that the international specialist press finds for Khatia Buniatishvili paint vivid pictures of the Georgian pianist, who is as passionate as she is sensual and whose interpretations are always one thing: incomparable — unique!

The pianist by choice from Paris, who only in March said goodbye to her baby break with a brilliant piano recital in the Philharmonie and will return to the Berlin podium as early as December, loves the extreme, the extraordinary, the unheard. Her lyrical, luminous and colorful tone, her seemingly limitless dynamic range from the barely perceptible pianopianissimo to the thunderous, boundary‐breaking outburst fascinate, polarize, and make one almost addicted to ever more sound eruptions …

Piano enthusiasts can look forward to an exciting program with probably the most capricious and idiosyncratic pianist of the present day, in which Khatia Buniatishvili presents all facets of her art: the classically pure tone and the deep romantic feelings of the great piano literature. Their creators must — it often seems — have had an interpreter like Khatia Buniatishvili in their ear when they wrote down their emotional sound pictures and passionate excesses for the 'blackest of all instruments' — according to the pianist.
