According to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, “Ricardo Magnus’ playing speaks naturally and breathes freely, the virtuosity and beauty of sound never suffer from the rhetorical presentation.”
A vibrant, colourful touch, a rich imagination and a fine sense of rhythm characterise the performances of Argentinian-born harpsichord/fortepiano player and conductor Ricardo Magnus.
He performs in prestigious concert venues and at several festivals such as Lucerne Festival, La Redoute in Bonn, Laeiszhalle in Hamburg, Gewandhaus in Leipzig, Weilburg Castle Concerts, Telemann Days in Magdeburg, Ambronay Festival, Music Festival in Mondsee, Handel Festivals in Göttingen and Halle, Soli Deo Gloria Festival, NDR Das Alte Werk.
Mr. Magnus has been invited to perform with baroque ensembles using period instruments, as well as modern orchestras, such as the MDR Symphony Orchestra Leipzig, the NDR Radio Philharmonic Hannover, the Stuttgart Philharmonic, the Badische Staatskapelle in Karlsruhe, the Strasbourg Philharmonic, the Philharmonic Orchestra Freiburg, etc.
As a sought-after recitative accompanist and assistant, Magnus has participated in opera productions in Mexico, South Korea and Europe. He records his innovative programs with “Ambitus” and “Etcétera Records”.
Among these, the solo CD “Miniatures” deserves special mention, as it received much praise from the specialized press.
