Beth Levin
|
New York-based pianist Beth Levin is celebrated as a bold interpreter of challenging works, from the Romantic canon to leading modernist composers.
The New Yorker called her playing "revelatory". Fanfare described Levin’s artistry as "fierce in its power", with "a huge range of colours". Debuting as a child prodigy with the Philadelphia Orchestra at age twelve, Levin was subsequently taught and guided by legendary pianists such as Rudolf Serkin, Leonard Shure and Dorothy Taubman. Another of her teachers, Paul Badura-Skoda, praised Levin as "a pianist of rare qualities and the highest professional caliber". Her deep well of experience allows an intuitive connection to the great pianistic traditions, to Bach, to Mozart, to Beethoven. |
