His irrepressible desire to express himself, the intensity of his performance and, above all, his art of characterization clearly showed the exceptional pianist. Not to forget his refined touch and the rare ability to make the keyboard instrument sing.
The performance of the solo part in the Beethoven Concerto can without a doubt be described as completed.

ABOUT.
A Prize Winner of the International Telekom Beethoven Competition Bonn, Moritz Winkelmann has established a strong reputation for his Beethoven interpretations. Pizzicato magazine calls his latest recording of the three last Beethoven sonatas „a small stroke of genius and an absolute enrichment for the otherwise strained Beethoven repertoire.“
Moritz Winkelmann’s powerful and deeply inner way of playing gave the impression of virtuosity and creative mastery of the greatest kind. It is worth great honors not to put these pianistic abilities in the service of acrobatic showmanship, but in the service of the deeper matters in music.
