Robert Taub
Pianist Robert Taub has performed throughout the United
States, Europe, the Far East, and Latin America. From Merkin
Concert Hall in New York and Kingston University in London
to other venues worldwide, he continues to present the
Beethoven piano sonata cycle regularly. His recordings of
the complete Beethoven piano sonatas have been critically
acclaimed, and Taub is renowned for his interpretations of
contemporary music as well. The Beethoven piano sonatas have been part of Taub’s life
since the age of 8, when he ventured into Beethoven’s Opus
10 No. 1. Over the years he learned that the sonatas can be
appreciated on many levels, and naturally he began to
incorporate them into his concert repertoire. Taub’s
Beethoven studies eventually resulted in his first
performing all the sonatas as a cycle in Wolfensohn Hall at
Princeton. His book Playing the Beethoven Piano Sonatas
evolved from that performance and subsequent ones. Taub served as the first artist-in-residence since T. S.
Eliot at Princeton’s Institute for Advanced Study, and was
the first musician to hold the honor. Now he performs with
leading orchestras, including the Metropolitan Opera
Orchestra at Carnegie Hall, Philadelphia Orchestra, Los
Angeles Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, BBC
Philharmonic, Munich Philharmonic, and Hong Kong Philharmonic. He also enjoys running, scuba diving, and restoring sports
cars and motorcycles. In fact, the April 2001 issue of
Classic Bike featured a motorcycle that he rebuilt. Taub
resides in Princeton, NJ.
