‘Total fidelity to the music’s structure and inner spirit, and an emotional response that never suffocates or distorts’
The Times
Paul Lewis is one of the foremost interpreters of the Central European piano repertoire, with performances and recordings of Beethoven and Schubert receiving universal critical acclaim. Awarded a CBE for his services to music, his sincerity and depth of musical approach have won him a devoted following around the world. His projects often focus on individual composers, taking audiences deep inside their work, from his acclaimed Schubert Piano Sonata Series to his current Mozart+ series, which places Mozart’s lesser-known piano music alongside works by composers who followed him.
‘Every time I play a concert, I treat it as a lesson. Every concert experience is a step in the process’
