Christopher Hinterhuber

Christopher Hinterhuber embodies a tradition I deeply admire. An Austrian classical pianist trained at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, he comes out of the most rigorous lineage the instrument has to offer. What charms me is his roots in Klagenfurt, that lake-and-mountain corner of Carinthia, and I cannot help imagining how that serene landscape might color the tone he draws from a piano. Players like him rarely chase headlines, but they are the backbone of classical music, the patient craftsmen who keep the repertoire alive. I would happily sit through a full recital just to hear what he does with silence between notes.
