Biography

Born in Amsterdam, Netherlands on October 1, 1954, classical pianist Ronald Brautigam is best known for his fortepiano performances of sonatas by Haydn, Mozart and especially Beethoven. He began learning the piano at a young age, eventually studying under Jan Wijn in the Netherlands (1971-1979), John Bingham in London, England (1980-1982) and Rudolf Serkin in the United States (1982-1983). In 1984, he was awarded a Nederlandse Muziekprijs by the Dutch Ministry of Culture. He has regularly collaborated with violinists Jaap van Zweden and Isabelle van Keulen. His work on the fortepiano – the earliest version of the modern piano – has earned him attention, especially on his recordings of Mozart’s sonatas over 10 volumes (1996-1997) and Haydn’s sonatas over 11 volumes (1998 -2002). He has also recorded 32 Beethoven sonatas across 15 volumes (2003-2015), which earned him the Edison Prize (2015) and the German Critics' Prize. Ronald Brautigam has also recorded concertos by Mendelssohn, Haydn, Beethoven and Mozart. Ronald Brautigam’s catalog also includes the titles Kraus: The Solo Piano Music (2006), Mozart: Concertos for Two & Three Pianos with Alexei Lubimov and Mandred Huss (2007), Masterworks for Flute and Piano I & II with Sharon Belazy (2006, 2010), The Violin Sonata Around 1900 with Isabelle van Keulen (2009), Mendelssohn: Piano Concertos (2018), Beethoven: The Piano Concertos (2019) and Weber: Complete Works for Piano & Orchestra (2021).
