About Ronaldo Rolim, piano
With "a special ability to present touching interpretations" (El Norte), Brazilian pianist Ronaldo Rolim is a prominent figure among an emerging generation of outstanding musicians. Acclaimed for his "consummate elegance" (New York Concert Review) and "mastery of phrasing, agogic accents, and dynamics" (Oberbaselbieter Zeitung), he has performed extensively over four continents, in such venues such as Carnegie Hall, Zurich's Tonhalle, London's Wigmore Hall, the Great Hall of the Liszt Academy in Budapest, and Beijing's National Centre for the Performing Arts. He is a Winner of the 2017 Astral National Auditions and has captured top prizes at numerous prestigious international competitions, including the Géza Anda, James Mottram, Bösendorfer, San Marino, Lyon, and Teresa Carreño competitions. In 2019, Mr. Rolim released his latest album on Odradek Records, Szymanowski – The Wartime Triptychs, devoted to the programmatic works the Polish composer wrote during World War I. Diapason magazine considers Mr. Rolim "an ideal guide to [Szymanowski’s] magic world”, whereas Classica magazine hails his “clear but thunderous pianism." The album's topic was extensively discussed in Mr. Rolim's doctoral thesis, completed in 2016 at Yale University.
