Avantgarde
Alfred Schnittke
Concert for Piano and Orchestra (1960)
Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra
Ariane Matiakh, Conductor
Biennale Zagreb, Croatia
As part of the Biennale Zagreb, the festival for contemporary music, Schnittke’s concert is tailored for Radutu’s play – shiny and spirited in sharp contrast to dreamily elegiac passages, with the technical brilliance and creative individuality of the pianist.
Margareta Ferek-Petric, Artistic Director Biennale
Romantic
Frédéric Chopin
Piano Concert No.1 in E-Minor
Philharmonic Orchestra Cottbus
Johannes Zurl, Conductor
Staatstheater Cottbus, Germany
I enjoyed making music with Maria Radutu, because thanks to her great musicality, her brilliant virtuosity but also her good interaction with the orchestra, she created a wonderful concert experience.
Johannes Zurl, Conductor
Classical
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Piano Concerto No.23 in A-Major
Radio Symphony Orchestra Vienna
Cornelius Meister, Conductor
Asia-Tour
I have rarely heard Mozart’s Piano Concerto KV 488 with such a fresh, sparkling and poetic solo part. Maria Radutu thrilled and enchanted not only the audience, but me as well.
Christoph Becher, Orchestra Manager
