Description
For more than 50 years, the International Beethoven Competition held by piano manufacturer Bosendorfer and the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna has been taking place every 4 years; in 2017 for the 15th rendition, the Italian Rodolfo Leone was crowned as 1st prize winner by the highly regarded international jury from far more than 250 competing young talents. Critics commented: '... he seemed to be communicating with distant worlds, as a true sound philosopher' (Oberosterreichische Nachrichten), which Rodolfo Leone demonstrates with this Beethoven album. A debut with great maturity and indescribable power.
