Daniel-Ben Pienaar
Daniel-Ben Pienaar is a South African-born pianist and musicologist celebrated for his bold, intellectually charged interpretations of Baroque, Classical, and contemporary keyboard works. Based in the UK, he’s developed a reputation as a scholar-performer who bridges historical insight with a fresh, sometimes unconventional approach to familiar repertoire. His sprawling recording projects, like the acclaimed *Haydn - 48 Piano Sonatas* and *Byrd - Pavans & Galliards*, showcase his knack for uncovering unexpected depth in early music, while collaborations such as *David Gorton: Farnabye’s Maske* highlight his engagement with modern composers. A prolific live performer and Royal Academy of Music professor, Pienaar balances academic rigor with playful spontaneity—whether resurrecting Gaspard Le Roux’s obscure harpsichord suites or reimagining Schubert’s sonatas with forensic detail. His discography feels like a curated journey through piano history, served with equal parts scholarship and cheeky flair.
