Bach, Ravel and Beethoven

In May 2025, the Dutch pianist Nikola Meeuwsen won the Queen Elisabeth Competition, becoming its youngest ever winner. He presents a powerful and poetic recital featuring Bach/Brahms’s Chaconne for the Left Hand, Ravel’s refined *Le Tombeau de Couperin*, Mendelssohn’s *Variations sérieuses* and Beethoven’s explosive *Appassionata*. Meeuwsen allows the music to breathe, with a masterful control that is both serene and overwhelming. -------------------------- >>> This concert is part of the highlight Unstoppable.Discover today the talents of tomorrow.They are young, driven, and ready to claim their place.-------------------------- Laureate of the Queen Elisabeth Competition 150 years ago, Queen Elisabeth was born—a remarkable monarch with a deep passion for music and culture.
