About

Rikke Sandberg is recognised as one of the most prominent pianists in Danish music and, since her debut recital in 2002, has been an elite part of the Danish music scene. She is constantly present and totally absorbed in the music and her competencce and talent are without bounds - she is as comfortable playing music composed several hundred years ago as she is playing music written yesterday. When she is not sitting at the piano she works on her own Nordic Chamber Music Festival where she is the artistic leader. Or she is nurturing the next generation in her role as teacher at the Royal Danish Music Academy, as a frequent member of the jury and jury chairman of the Steinway Music Festival. She is often the orchestral pianist for concerts with The Danish National Symphony Orchestra and the Malmö Symphony Orchestra. Rikke Sandberg has been awarded many prizes. These include the Jacob Gade Prize, the Victor Schiøler and Sonning Prize and not to forget the Society of Danish Music Critics Award. 'Rikke Sandberg plays with such authority, that few Danish Pianists can match her richly nuanced and brilliantly restrained playing'.

March 2019

Her fearlessly uncompromising Bach D minor Chaconne surely fulfils Brahms’s intention in arranging the piece for left hand alone to convey some of the sense of its challenges for the solo violin. Her abstemious use of the pedal heightens the similarly to Bach’s original. She is less successful in the challenging Variations on a Hungarian song.

January 2019

Some superb playing here.
