Georgian-French pianist Khatia Buniatishvili is one of the great pianists of our time. A familiar face at the world’s top venues and festivals with hundreds of thousands of social media followers, she recently performed at the reopening of Notre-Dame in Paris. She plays the piano, she says, as if she were playing for the very last time of her life – sheer intensity in other words. With her great role model Martha Argerich, she shares a desire to push herself to extremes. Whether high virtuosity or romantic dreaminess, Khatia Buniatishvili finds an original approach to each repertoire. Moving from explosive energy to trance-like immersion, her highly emotional playing mesmerises with its sensual elegance – glimmering like a solitary candle in pianissimo, with needle-sharp precision in fortissimo. In her opinion, virtuosity should always be subordinate to expression, so every piano recital becomes an unforgettable experience thanks to the exciting tension between technical brilliance and the power of poetic expression!
