Kristian Bezuidenhout

Kristian Bezuidenhout is an esteemed performer recognized for his exceptional mastery of the fortepiano, the historical predecessor to the modern grand piano. Born in South Africa in 1979, he moved to Australia at an early age, where his passion and talent for music flourished. Bezuidenhout studied at the Eastman School of Music in the United States and later in London, where his career began to take flight as he delved into the world of historical performance.

Bezuidenhout's repertoire displays a keen affinity for the works of Classical era composers, with a significant focus on Mozart's compositions, as evidenced by his recent releases including "Mozart: Piano Concertos K. 238 & 503" and "Mozart: Violin Concertos Nos. 3-5." His interpretative prowess not only shines through in these recordings but has also garnered critical acclaim through international concert appearances and collaborations with leading period-instrument ensembles. His nuanced and articulate performances demonstrate a deep understanding of the stylistic and technical aspects of the period's instruments, allowing modern audiences to experience the music of Mozart, Beethoven, and C.P.E. Bach as authentically as possible. Beyond the Classical repertoire, Bezuidenhout's artistry also encompasses interpretations of Romantic music, maintaining his reputation as one of the versatile and insightful musicians of his generation.
