This week, Charlotte shines a spotlight on her Young Classical Star, the 25-year-old German pianist Elisabeth Brauss. Hailing from a musical family, Elisabeth first started playing the piano at four years old, and has since gone on to give performances at the notorious Konzerthaus in Berlin, the Hamburg Laeiszhalle, the Mariinksy Theatre in St. Petersburg, and at the Beethovenfest in Bonn.
Tonight, Charlotte showcases Elisabeth’s outstanding talent with a recording of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 7 from her debut album.
