Ronald Brautigam (born 1954) is a Dutch concert pianist, best known for his performances of Beethoven's piano works on the fortepiano.[1]
Born in Amsterdam, Brautigam studied there with Jan Wijn (1971-79), then he left to study in London with John Bingham (1980-82)[2] and in the United States with Rudolf Serkin (1982-83).[3] His skill as a pianist was recognised by Dutch musicians and in 1984 he was awarded the Nederlandse Muziekprijs. In 2015 his Beethoven recordings received the Edison Award and the annual German Record Critics' Prize.[4]
Brautigam resides in Amsterdam with his wife Mary. Since September 2011, he has been a professor in the University of Music of the Basel Music Academy.[2]
