Edna Stern

Edna Stern, a pianist whose artistry combines profound musical insights with a deep understanding of historical performance practice, has established herself as a unique voice in the classical music world. Trained at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris and later at the Rubin Academy of Music in Jerusalem, Stern's talent has been honed under the guidance of prestigious mentors including Krystian Zimerman, Leon Fleisher, and Martha Argerich.

Stern's discography reflects her thoughtful approach to repertoire, ranging from the baroque through the romantic periods. Notable albums like "Bach's Book of Zen” and "Schubert on Tape" showcase her ability to reinterpret familiar works with fresh perspectives, while her recordings of less well-known composers like Hélène de Montgeroult reveal her passion for musical exploration. Her release, “Me-Su-Bach,” which is a play on names merging the artist's with the legendary composer's, highlights her connection and dedication to Bach's legacy.

Edna Stern's performances at esteemed competitions such as the 2001 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, and her engagements with various orchestras, have brought her critical acclaim. Her Chopin albums stand testament to her technical prowess and sensitive musicianship, traits that have won her admiration from audiences and fellow musicians alike. Whether playing the classics of Mozart or the introspective works of Schumann, Stern captivates with her compelling interpretations and intrinsic understanding of each composer’s vocabularies.
