Cristian Sandrin, piano
Johann Sebastian Bach – Goldberg Variations, BWV 988
Imogen Cooper Music Trust presents Cristian Sandrin in a performance of J.S. Bach's monumental Goldberg Variations live from 30 Pavilion Road, Knightsbridge, UK.
A former scholarship holder of the Imogen Cooper Music Trust, Cristian Sandrin was born in 1993 into a family of musicians in Bucharest, Romania.
He began his musical training at the Dinu Lipatti National College of Arts, making his debut as a soloist at the famous Romanian Athenaeum in 2006. He completed seven years of studies at the Royal Academy of Music (RAM), London, in 2019 having gained a DipRAM distinction, an MA (Master of Music) and the Advanced Diploma in Performance, reserved for only the very best students.
In London Cristian made a well-received debut solo recital at the Wigmore Hall in 2017 and from 2018 to 2020 toured extensively across the UK as an artist with the Countess of Munster Recital Scheme. In Romania he is a frequent guest artist with the leading orchestra, most recently having performed Mozart's Piano Concerto K503 with "George Enescu' Philharmonic in 2021.
A keen chamber musician who enjoys directing ensembles from the keyboard, Cristian has made frequent appearances at the prestigious Romanian SoNoRo international chamber music festival. Other international engagements include performances at the Sala Manuel de Falla Madrid, La Fenice Venice, the Salle Cortot Paris, and the Polish National Concert Hall Warsaw. Cristian has been a prizewinner in numerous national and international piano competitions, most recently being awarded the Rosalyn Tureck Special Prize for the best interpretation of Bach at the 2019 Olga Kern International Piano Competition in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. He took advantage of the 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns to concentrate on learning the Goldberg Variations, which he describes as 'an extraordinary companion' at a time when he was both isolated and also free from the pressure of impending concerts and competitions.
The broadcast will begin on 20th June 2021 at 4pm British Summer Time / 8am Pacific with on-demand video available for 14 days after the show.
Tickets: £15 / $21.16
