ACTUS HUMANUS: ANDREAS STAIER, Gdansk

Andreas Staier biography

Undoubtedly one of the most prominent harpsichord and forte piano performers in the world, Andreas Staier embarked upon a solo career in 1986 and, since then, his indisputable musical mastery has made its mark on the interpretation of baroque, classical and romantic repertoire. His extensive discography has won great critical awards from the international press, whether for BMG, Teldec Classics (with whom he had an exclusive contract for seven years) or Harmonia Mundi for whom he released his last five recordings: Mozart's Sonatas in two CDs, Haydn concertos with the Freiburger Barockorchester, Hamburg 1734 (with the German harpsichordist Christine Schornsheim). More recently, he has recorded Beethoven's sonatas for violin and piano with Daniel Sepec performing on Beethoven's own instrument and a Mozart CD performing on Johann Andreas Stein's vis-à-vis instrument with Christine Schornsheim, which was awarded the Diapason d'Or and the CHOC du Monde de La Musique.
