Ronald Brautigam is a distinguished Dutch pianist renowned for his performances with both modern and period instruments, showcasing his versatility across a wide spectrum of classical music. Born on October 8, 1954, in Amsterdam, Brautigam studied piano at the Sweelinck Conservatorium in Amsterdam before refining his art under Rudolf Serkin at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. He quickly developed a reputation for his engaging and nuanced interpretations, particularly of Classical and Romantic repertoire.

Widely acclaimed for his comprehensive recordings of Beethoven's complete piano works, Brautigam’s discography reflects a deep dedication to and mastery of composers like Mozart, Schubert, and Mendelssohn as well. His insightful approach to the keyboard concertos of less frequently recorded composers such as Wilms and Weber further cements his status as an intrepid explorer of the classical piano canon. With a career spanning over four decades, Brautigam remains a prolific recording artist and a revered figure on the international concert stage, known for the intellectual rigor, technical finesse, and expressive warmth of his performances.
