Till Fellner piano

Pianist Till Fellner plays with scrupulous musicianship, purity of style, and sparkling keyboard command – qualities that have earned him plaudits amongst colleagues and press worldwide. His readings of the works of Bach and Beethoven in particular have already placed him among the elect in this repertoire, and the fresh ingenuity of his performances of such 20th century masters as György Kurtág and Elliott Carter have earned him many accolades.

In the 2011/12 season, Fellner plays Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 1 with Manfred Honeck and the Chicago Symphony; Beethoven No. 2 with Bramwell Tovey and the Vancouver Symphony, and with Kent Nagano and the Montreal Symphony; the Schumann Piano Concerto with Xian Zhang and the Indianapolis Symphony; and Mozart Piano Concerto in E flat Major, K. 482, with Bernard Haitink and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He is heard in recital in Cleveland, Washington, DC, Seattle, London and France, and in chamber music venues at the Salzburg Festival and the Schubertiade Schwarzenberg with his trio partners Adrian Brendel and Lisa Batiashvili. In the fall of 2011, Fellner and the noted English tenor Mark Padmore continue their series of song recitals in Paris and Japan.

Last season saw the completion of his critically acclaimed complete Beethoven piano sonata cycle, which was presented in New York, Vienna, London, Paris, and Tokyo. He also toured South America with Jonathan Nott and the Bamberg Symphony, Spain with the Munich Chamber Orchestra, and made solo appearances with major orchestras in Amsterdam, Paris and Berlin. Other recent highlights include performances with Kent Nagano and the Montréal Symphony; the Orchestre National de France with Kurt Masur; the Philharmonia Orchestra of London under Sir Charles Mackerras; and the Munich Philharmonic with Lothar Zagrosek at the podium.

Fellner's impressive discography includes acclaimed ECM discs of Bach's Inventions and Sinfonias, the Well-Tempered Clavier Book I, and the Beethoven Piano Concertos Nos. 4 and 5, with Nagano and the Montreal Symphony.

Till Fellner first came to world attention by winning First Prize at the Clara Haskil International Piano Competition in 1993. He was a student of Helene Sedo-Stadler and has studied privately with Alfred Brendel, Meira Farkas, Oleg Maisenberg, and Claus-Christian Schuster.
