about
Bernard Roberts (born 23 July 1933, Manchester) is a notable English pianist. His treatment of the cycle of Beethoven's Piano Sonatas has been particularly highly acclaimed. He is also noted for his recordings of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Roberts' recording of the Well-Tempered Clavier, Books 1 and 2, performed on piano, was released in 1999 by Nimbus Records and was well-received. Roberts also has recorded Bach's Six Partitas, BWV 825-30, and his French Suites, BWV 812-17. In collaboration with other performers, Roberts has released discs of music for one and two pianos by Paul Hindemith and of trios by Frank Bridge. According to Roberts' official home page, he has been the subject of a 40 minute BBC2 documentary, and he "particularly enjoys performing the piano trio repertoire with his sons Andrew and Nicholas". Roberts has commented that although he enjoyed making the Beethoven recordings, he feels his playing was somewhat restrained in the first "direct cut" recording.
