[Paul Lewis is a] “full-blooded Beethoven interpreter whose virtuoso brilliance and deft touch illuminate every familiar phrase.” (Chicago Tribune)

Paul Lewis’s Beethoven and Schubert cycles have received unanimous critical and public acclaim, and he is widely considered one of the world’s foremost interpreters of central European classical repertoire. A former student of Alfred Brendel, he has spent the past two years exploring connections between the sonatas of Haydn, the late piano works of Brahms, and Beethoven’s Bagatelles and Diabelli Variations. He also regularly appears as soloist with the world’s great orchestras, including this season with the Berlin Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony, and others.
