“The highlight was Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, with the young Finnish pianist Antti Siirala in his New York orchestral
debut … he proved an elegant and intelligent musician with a refined and resourceful technique.” — New York Times
“For sheer tonal beauty, no pianist surpassed Antti Siirala.” — New York Observer
“A pianist worthy of the most serious consideration … performances of glorious beauty and strong individualism.” — Seattle Times
First Prize winner of three international piano competitions, including the prestigious Leeds International Piano Competition (2003),
Finnish pianist Antti Siirala has established himself as one of the finest pianists of his generation. In addition to a stunning debut with
the San Francisco Symphony playing Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 under Osmo Vänskä, his American engagements include the
Detroit Symphony, Indianapolis Symphony, Jacksonville Symphony, Louisiana Philharmonic, and the New Jersey Symphony. Here, he
presents Beethoven’s final three sonatas, always a subject for discussion and curiosity among music lovers!
