Thursday, October 12, 2006

Robert Taub, author of the book "Playing the Beethoven Piano Sonatas," brings a "fresh perspective on Beethoven" according to the New York Times. We'll hear about Beethoven from the performer's point of view, as the acclaimed pianist joins George Preston and Lauren Rico in the studio for "Beethoven’s Laboratory: The Piano Sonatas."

Robert Taub has performed throughout the United States, Europe, the Far East, and Latin America. He continues to present the Beethoven piano sonata cycle regularly, and his recordings of the complete Beethoven piano sonatas have been critically acclaimed. Taub performs with leading orchestras, including the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra at Carnegie Hall, Philadelphia Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, and BBC Philharmonic.
