Ha fallecido Paul Badura-Skoda

El pianista y musicólogo Paul Badura-Skoda (Viena 6 de octubre de 1927) ha fallecido el pasado 25 de septiembre en su Viena natal. Badura-Skoda es un referente de la tradición vienesa en la interpretación del repertorio de la época revolucionaria y napoleónica. 

In 1945, Badura-Skoda entered the Vienna Conservatory, and two years later won first prize in the Austrian Music Competition and a scholarship which allowed him to study with Edwin Fischer. These years laid the foundation for Badura-Skoda´s artistic future. In 1949, Wilhelm Furtwängler and Herbert von Karajan became aware of Badura-Skoda´s outstanding talent, and invited him to play concerts. Practically overnight the young viennese became a world-famous artist.
