  • Robert Levin Selected Reviews
    Robert Levin Selected Reviews Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 3 Scottish Chamber Orchestra (November 2017) “Playing along quietly in the normally orchestra-only exposition, adding in his own improvised lead-ins and interruptions, pedalling freely, stretching rhythms and inserting impromptu melodic embellishments, he treated what we normally hear as nothing more than the Concerto’s bare bones, a framework for spontaneous, in-the-moment creation – all backed up by serious historical scholarship, of course. The result was edge-of-your-seat stuff, sometimes raising a smile, often raising eyebrows, but carried through with utter conviction and brilliant, sometimes rather hard-edged clarity. Most captivating, though, was the breathtaking immediacy of Levin’s account, and its disarming honesty – maybe this’ll work, maybe not, he seemed to say, but we’ll do it anyway.” – David Kettle, The Scotsman **** “Robert Levin, who has just celebrated his 70th birthday, brought his renowned erudition to the solo part, as well as the flair of his own improvised cadenzas, always staying clearly within the embrace of Beethoven’s own themes.” – Keith Bruce, The Herald **** Alte Oper Recital Mozart Saal, Frankfurt (May 2017) “Erfolgreich Musik machen und erfolgreich über sie reden können wenige. Ein solcher Universalkünstler, bekannt auch als Vollender berühmter Fragmente wie etwa Mozarts Requiem, ist der Pianist Robert Levin.” – Gerhard Schroth, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung Hilary Hahn Recitals European and US Tour (March 2017) “A Mozart sonata, K. 481, followed. Again it was Levin whose dynamism collared our ears… it was clear that our musicians were enjoying a conversation. …Levin’s solo turn followed in Hans Peter Türk’s Träume , another welcome UK premiere.

  • Portrait: Paul Mcnulty, Fortepiano Builder
    Portrait: Paul McNulty, Fortepiano Builder DAVID HYUN-SU KIM Photo: Majka Votavova. Majka Photo: ONVERSATION WITH PAUL MCNULTY IS simultaneously expansive and sharply focused. This is true generally—during our interview in Prague, Cthis past spring, he mentions geometric proportions, cites Milton, and jokes about the advantages of wearing a tin foil hat—as well as with specific respect to piano building. His expansiveness is not superficial, but is rather powered with intensity and colored with an eager generosity. He mentions, for instance, that his latest audiobook is “Histoire de ma Vie” (Casanova’s memoirs) and, in addition to quoting a favored passage, enthusiastically details and demonstrates the Dr. Sbaitso1-like program that reads to him as he works. As we stroll past his van, he is impelled to show off a contraption that allows him to transport eight pianos at a time, describing precisely how it works, and recounting how it was constructed, all while helping me take good pictures so that I might recreate the device. This 1 Think 1980s, 8-bit Siri. 87 tendency towards knowledge that is at once variegated yet integrated is apparent in his piano building. He builds no fewer than seven distinct types of fortepianos, about which he seems to know every last detail, and he is constantly comparing and cross-referencing their various designs and capabilities. His inventory and conversational character are thus in sympathy, and both suggest that he is eager to explore new topics and consider them thoroughly. That his pianos are world- class is therefore no surprise, but meeting him and getting a glimpse into his working process offers the tantalizing prospect that his instruments may reach still dizzier heights.
