Sara Davis Buechner

Sara Davis Buechner is one of the leading concert pianists of our time, praised

worldwide as a musician of “intelligence, integrity and all-encompassing techni-

cal prowess” (New York Times). Japan’s InTune magazine says: “When it comes to

clarity, flawless tempo selection, phrasing and precise control of timbre, Buechner

has no superior.”

 

In her twenties, Ms. Buechner was the winner of a bouquet of prizes at the

world’s première piano competitions -- Queen Elisabeth of Belgium, Leeds, Salz-

burg, Sydney and Vienna. She won the Gold Medal at the 1984 Gina Bachauer

International Piano Competition, and was a Bronze Medalist of the 1986

Tschaikowsky International Piano Competition in Moscow.

With an active repertoire of more than 100 piano concertos ranging from A (Al-

beníz) to Z (Zimbalist) -- one of the largest of any concert pianist today -- she has

appeared as soloist with many of the world’s première orchestras. Audiences

throughout North America have applauded Ms. Buechner’s recitals in venues

such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center and the Hollywood

Bowl; and she enjoys wide success throughout Asia where she tours annually.

Sara Davis Buechner’s numerous recordings have received prominent critical

appraisal. Her extensive discography includes music by Bach, Brahms, Busoni,

Dvorák, Mozart, Stravinsky and Turina; Hollywood piano concertos by Bernard

Herrmann and Franz Waxman; rare American music of George Gershwin, Dana

Suesse, Pauline Alpert and Joseph Lamb; and the complete piano music of Mik-

lós Rózsa. Her piano artistry may also be heard on the recent DVD of Carl Dreis-

er’s 1925 silent film “Master of the House,” available through the Criterion Col-

lection.

Dr. Buechner is a Professor of Piano at Temple University in Philadelphia, and

formerly taught at New York University and the University of British Columbia.

She has presented lectures and masterclasses worldwide, is a regular adjudicator

of prominent international piano competitions, and served as chief music editor

for Dover Publications International. In 2022 Sara Davis Buechner marks her 30th

year as a dedicated Yamaha artist.
