- Equally at home on the 18th-century fortepiano as he is on the modern concert piano, Canadian pianist Ludwig Sémerjian holds a special place on today's music scene. His sensitive and original interpretations regularly garner praise from critics, while audiences are delighted by his dazzling virtuosity, unusual grace and poetic temperament. After graduating from McGill University in Montreal, Ludwig Sémerjian began to take an interest in historic pianos from the 18th and 19th centuries. The enormous success achieved on these instruments led him to collaborate with such eminent early music specialists as Nicholas McGegan, Jaap Shröder, Paul Badura-Skoda and Andreas Staier. This marriage of the old and the new has produced a peerless artist in Ludwig Sémerjian who continues to capture the imagination of critics and audiences alike. Sémerjian has performed in Europe and North America as a recitalist, soloist with orchestra and chamber musician, playing on both ancient and modern instruments. Recent concerts by Ludwig Sémerjian include a North American tour as a soloist with the Concerto Köln as well as appearances on some of the most prestigious stages in the world, including the Library of Congress in Washington, Studio Glenn Gould in Toronto, the Accademia Bartolomeo Cristofori in Florence and the Beethoven-Haus Kammermusiksaal in Bonn where it was praised by German critics. Ludwig Sémerjian's recordings can be found on the Atma Classique label, with which he completed recording all of Mozart's sonatas on pianos from the 18th and 19th century.
