About the Artist

Silverman is one of the world’s premiere pianists, having reached a level of musical and technical authority that can only be accomplished after years of deep commitment to the instrument and its vast literature. In a career spanning more than five decades, he has climbed every peak of serious pianism. Many aspects of Mr. Silverman’s playing are frequently noted: a polished technique, an extraordinary range of tonal palette, an uncanny ability to sing his way into the

heart of a phrase, and probing interpretations of the

He is one of the few pianists to tackle both the entire Beethoven piano sonata cycle and the complete Mozart piano sonatas. He has performed in prestigious halls across the globe with many of the world’s greatest conductors, and he has produced many award-winning recordings. His complete discography includes 25 CDs and a dozen LPs.

The complete Beethoven piano sonata cycle performances will be recorded and produced on CD and in high-res audio, available for download.

Notes

"I personally fell in love with his playing when writing a review of his 2003 Chan Centre CD, which includes the devastatingly difficult Liszt B minor piano sonata. His recording of Liszt's piano music received a Grand Prix du Disque from the Liszt Society of Budapest." says Michael Silver, owner of Audio High.

Audio High has produced a number of successful benefit concerts in the past, including Carlos Santana; The Buster Williams Trio, featuring Kenny Barron and Lenny White; the John Hicks Trio, and the Carl Saunders Sextet. In 2006, we brought Robert Silverman to the Bay Area for a four-concert series, performing the entire set of Mozart piano sonatas.

Audio High will be recording and producing a CD set of all 32 sonatas with Mr. Silverman. These will be available for download or purchase from www.audiohigh.com. All proceeds from sales will go to the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford for our "Rooms of Magic" project.
