Paul Lewis is today regarded as one of the leading pianists of his generation. Having won the most coveted prizes of the great classical institutions for both his concert career and his recordings on harmonia mundi (Diapason d'Or of the year 2002, 25th Premio Internationale Accademia Musicale Chigiana di Siena, Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik, and three Gramophone Awards including Recording of the Year in 2008), he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Southampton in 2009. He is also the first pianist in the history of the BBC Proms to have played the complete Beethoven concertos in a single season (2010).
REVIEWS OF INDIVIDUAL ALBUMS:
"Above all, it's playing that possesses a profound confidence that has surely come from his wholesale immersion in the music of the composer, not just the solo piano works but chamber and vocal too...A worthy continuation, then, of what is fast emerging as a benchmark Schubert series for our time."" GRAMOPHONE AWARD FINALIST 2013: Instrumental
"every now and again a recording comes along that makes you want to dance in the street, handing out copies to complete strangers. This is one of those instances" RECORDING OF THE MONTH - GRAMOPHONE FEBRUARY 2012
