The Portuguese pianist Maria João Pires is one of the most unusual and independent contemporary artists. Pearly light arpeggios, crystal clear trills and intense phrasing characterize her playing. In addition, Maria João Pires is considered the leading interpreter of Mozart. Only a few artists succeed in getting down to the heart of the music in Mozart's piano works. The magazine Fono Forumwrites: "She has the ability to let music develop naturally." For Maria João Pires, giving concerts and playing on the big stages was never really fulfilling. Being a star as a performer – this idea is alien to her: »I don't believe so much in the performer, in the sense that they express themselves, themselves in the music. I think the music shows him what to do. It's like talking to a very good friend. You talk to each other, you don't necessarily have to talk about yourself, the expression comes through the conversation.« Concert appearances by the sensitive and always extremely modest pianist have become rare today, so we are all the more pleased that
