Meeuwsen's mega-Christmas - Nikola Meeuwsen

Champion serves Christmas dinner with only main courses: Bach, Ravel, Mendelssohn, and Beethoven Nikola Meeuwsen won the Koningin Elisabethwedstrijd 2025 and treated himself to a recital full of guilty pleasures. Brahms gets to work with Bach's famous 'Chaconne', Ravel greets a hero in ‘Le tombeau de Couperin’, Mendelssohn varies in minor. And then: the ‘Appassionata’, Beethoven's infamous number 23 that every pianist wants to be able to play someday. This type of program is reserved for those who have proven twice over that they have mastered the piano: four icons, zero fuss.
