Klára Würtz, a Hungarian-born pianist, has made her name through her international concert career, and her many CD recordings, including award-winning recordings of the Mozart Piano Sonatas, Schumann Piano Works (“will be the finest complete Schumann to have been recorded by one pianist” Classics Today), and piano concertos by Mozart, Schumann, Rachmaninoff and Bartók. Now she turns to the deceptively “simple” word of the Schubert Impromptus, popular pieces often attempted by amateur pianists. She discovers a world of intense emotions, from peaceful beauty to tragic despair, the musical language of the late piano sonatas and Winterreise. Klára Würtz was nurtured in the rich musical environment of the Liszt Academy in Budapest in the Seventies and Eighties, surrounded by such musical giants as Zoltán Kocsis, András Schiff, Ferenc Rados and György Kurtág. She toured the world, playing in such famous venues as Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Carnegie Hall, with the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Bernard Haitink, France (Roque d’Antheron), Germany, Italy, Salzburger Festspiele (Mozart recital) and Japan.
