About

“When I play, I am not presenting myself on the stage, but the music I am playing. It is the music that matters.” – Elisabeth Leonskaja

A new release from Elisabeth Leonskaja – an album which pays tribute to the second Viennese school, featuring works by Berg, Schoenberg and Webern.

One of the most celebrated pianists of our time, remaining true to herself and to her music, and in doing so, is following in the footsteps of the great Russian musicians of the Soviet era, such as Sviatoslav Richter and Emil Gilels…

Elisabeth Leonskaja is admired as a standard-bearer for great musical traditions (those of both Russia and Vienna), she renews them with her questing spirit, in 2022 The Observer wrote: “‘Legendary’ is a term to keep in strict reserve. It can be used categorically for the Soviet-born Austrian pianist… a septuagenarian with the energy and agility of a player half her age and the wisdom of ages in her playing… Leonskaja has a radiance in her presence, yet the muscularity and vigour of her playing has the power to shock.”
