Video: Kristian Bezuidenhout explains the differences between the fortepiano and modern piano in Toronto

Ahead of the first of four concerts with Tafelmusik in his Toronto début this week, fortepiano master Kristian Bezuidenhout eloquently answered questions about what makes his instrument different from a modern concert grand.

He is a remarkable eloquent advocate. Here is about a third of our interview, roughly cut so that I could get this out ahead of Thursday first performance at Jeanne Lamon Hall, Trinity-St Paul’s Centre.
