Concert reviews

“As the conductor's ideal keyboard partner, Annette Volkamer mastered the solo part of the fourth piano concerto with power, intimacy and straightforwardness. Both saw it as an image of a rugged landscape of the soul, as an excitingly modern, groundbreaking antithetical composition: no contrast that was smoothed, every syncope, every sforzato was uncompromisingly savored, the moods changed abruptly. "

- Soester Anzeiger, February 22, 1999 : L. v. Beethoven “Leonore III”, “Piano Concerto No. 4”, “Symphony No. 4” Philharmonic State Orchestra Halle, Annette Volkamer

“In Springe, the pianist Annette Volkamer presented a mostly sturdy, stormy composer with soulful, delicate echoes. The texts presented made the people behind the music visible. "
