Till Fellner has a lot of Beethoven in his life. He's playing all of the Beethoven Piano Sonatas on a tour of three continents as part of a three year project that concludes in 2010. He also just recorded Beethoven's Piano Concertos with Kent Nagano conducting the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. In Kent Nagano, Till Fellner says he's found a musical colleague who hears and sees Beethoven with fresh ears and eyes.
In addition to Till Fellner's Beethoven focus, his performing and recording activities also include Bach. The Washington Post wrote, "Fellner transformed the technical logic of Bach's 15 Three-Part Inventions, BWV 787-801, into a cast of characters sculpted as deftly as those in a Mozart opera."
