Link to the Show / Show NotesLars Vogt first came to public attention after he won second prize at the 1990 Leeds International Piano Competition. Since that time he has gone on to give major concerto and recital performances throughout Europe, Asia and North America.
During the current concert season, Lars Vogt has performed Brahms at the BBC Proms and Mozart at the Salzburg Festival. In Germany he appeared twice with the Berlin Philharmonic and toured with the Czech Philharmonic and other concerto engagements included Vienna Symphony, Munich Philharmonic, London Symphony, Philharmonia, Zurich Tonhalle, Danish National Radio, Swedish Radio and RAI Turin.
In 1998, Lars Vogt founded his own festival in Heimbach, Germany. Known as “Spannungen.”
In this week’s Inspired Minds, Lars Vogt talks to Breandáin O’Shea about his festival as well as the place Beethoven’s music has in a pianist’s life and how his ideas about musical interpretation have changed over the last 20 years.
