Alfred Brendel

Event Description

One of the world's most beloved and revered musicians, a prolific recording artist, Alfred Brendel returns to Vancouver - and we welcome him with open arms.

His legendary skill at converying the emotion and thought in music has earned him plaudits worldwide.

The Boston Globe called him "one of the defining performers of our age." A Chicago Tribune review reported: "The audience felt as if he had taken them on a miraculous adventure of mind and music." Said Time of his playing: "Surely, a listener feels, this is what the composer intended."

A true Renaissance man, Brendel is also a poet, essayist and art-lover who lists "laughing" as his favourite occupation.
