About

Severin von Eckardstein is one of the leading German pianists of his generation, with a broad repertoire and excellent technique.

"In his childhood, Prokofiev loved to improvise on the piano, just as I did. His piano style was not as sprawling as, say, that of Rachmaninov, his contemporary. Yet it was all the more flexible, capable of instantly morphing to reflect current events a style at times fresh and charged with energy, at others suddenly brooding. Prokofiev's music was stylistically multilayered from the onset, here and there juxtaposing melodies of a Classical bent with irony, self-deprecation, and driving rhythmic impulse. His skillful formal mastery and his unquenchable thirst for drama derived from opera, and always served him as a striking, never-ending source of inspiration. In its impressive cohesion and vitality, Prokofiev's piano output elaborately intermingles a variety of surprising moments where a touch of human feeling sneaks up on the listener, thereby revealing striking sincerity and profound inner feeling. Far from consisting in episodes of post-Romantic bathos, these are moments of bleak, violent despair." - Severin von Eckardstein

Severin von Eckardstein has performed with conductors such as Valery Gergiev, Philippe Herreweghe, Lothar Zagrosek and Marek Janowski, and made important debuts, among others in 2007 (Amsterdam under Paavo Jarvi), Dallas (under Jaap van Zweden), Budaypest (under Zsolt Hamar). During the European lockdown in November 20 he debuted with Mariinsky Orchestra (under Valery Gergiev) and the Ural Philharmonic in Yekaterinburg, Russia.

CD recordings with compositions by Medtner, Scriabin, Wagner, Schubert, Schumann, Debussy and others are highly regarded. His latest album of Duponts cycle La maison dans les dunes was awarded with Diapason dOr.
