Kristian Bezuidenhout – Fortepiano
“Kristian Bezuidenhout plays Mozart on the fortepiano like no-one else. …He performs … with all the sensitivity, expressivity, flair and stylistic integrity that has marked him out as a supreme master of the early keyboard. …the tone is vibrant, the music thoroughly engaging, and the genius of Mozart is brilliantly and eloquently served.” – THE SCOTSMAN (UK) (Review of Volume 3)
“Bezuidenhout is a prince of the fortepiano, making it sing in melodic phrases as no other practitioner of this intractable instrument has done in my experience.” – THE TIMES (UK) (Review of Volume 2)
