Gabriela Montero

Bach & Beyond

"I have seldom met such a talented pianist as Gabriela Montero", Martha Argerich enthused about the young Venezuelan pianist who was born in 1970 in Caracas and now is one of the outstanding musical interpreters of her generation. Not only is her playing of Bach superb, but also her improvisations on themes of Johann Sebastian Bach as well as on spontaneously composed melodies, sometimes sung to her by listeners. Since Autumn 2004 EMI Classics have been producing CDs with her. The Bonn public now has the opportunity to experience the artist live and possibly to inspire her with their own improvised tunes.
