Beethoven Pianoforte Sessions

Olga Pashchenko is regularly invited to play on the 1824 Graf fortepiano at the Beethoven-Haus in Bonn. It was the instrument on which she recorded her album Apassionata, Les Adieux, Waldstein (Alpha, 2017), hailed by Res Musica magazine as “a very great Beethoven recording, which […] proves that historically informed performers, these ‘ancient moderns’, bring an unexpected freshness and a new way of listening to these monuments of the piano and musical pantheon.” At BOZAR, she will perform Beethoven’s gargantuan Hammerklavier Sonata on Chris Maene’s replicas of the Graf and Broadwood fortepianos.

Fortepiano of John BROADWOOD (1732-1812) – London 1817
