This Czech-born pianist has become a grand interpreter of the Austro-Germanic Classical repertoire. His crystalline playing has been the driving spark of ideal collaborations with Mozarteans on the level of conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt. And on a series of comprehensive releases for the Teldec label, Buchbinder displayed his completist's expertise in the piano works of Haydn. When branching out into the Romantic catalog, he's also capable of bringing a delicate touch to works by Brahms and Strauss.
