Anton Kuerti

Reynolds Industries Theater


The world-renowned Kuerti’s iconic recordings of Beethoven glow with a “bright power” and “slow-burning intensity” (Boston Globe).  Here the “marvelously fluid” and “interpretively expansive” master (Philadelphia Inquirer) turns to Beethoven once more, in a program that ends with a brilliant but rarely-heard masterpiece Schoenberg thought was Beethoven’s most adventurous work.
