Pedro Burmester is a Portuguese pianist. Sun of the german-spanish Gerardo Curbera Burmester and Maria Inês de Abreu Martins da Costa, Pedro Burmester is nowadays one of the world's greatest piano interpreters. His repertoire comprises mostly the Romantic composers, namely Schumann and Lizt.
As experts refer to Pedro, when playing "he infuses them with unbearable energy and overwhelming intensity”, reaching a exquisite and delicate balance between virtuosity and emotional depth.
