Andreas Staier fortepiano

Andreas Staier is renowned worldwide for his interpretation of classical and post-classical music on the historical fortepiano. His current repertoire includes works from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, which he performs on both the harpsichord and the fortepiano. He is regularly invited to perform at leading music festivals as well as in the most prestigious concert halls worldwide (Konzerthaus Wien, Schauspielhaus and Philharmonie Berlin, Kölner Philharmonie, Théâtre du Châtelet, Paris, Wigmore Hall, Suntory Hall, Carnegie Hall). Andreas has recorded extensively for BMG, Teldec Classics and was awarded with a certificate of honour of the ‘Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik’ in 2002.
