“Red hot German pianist”
— Cape Ann Beacon
Welcome to the musical world of classical pianist, Clemens Teufel.
Born in Germany, Mr. Teufel's piano education was influenced by both the German and Russian piano traditions. Mr. Teufel studied at the University of Music "Franz Liszt" in Weimar, Germany under Professor Peter Waas. Upon graduating, Mr. Teufel completed his graduate studies as a student of Professor Lev Natochenny at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Frankfurt, Germany.
Currently, Mr. Teufel performs and provides masterclasses across the globe. He has performed in venues including the Alte Oper Frankfurt, Holzhauser Musiktage, Burgos Music Festival, Spain, Cité des arts in Paris, Summit Music Festival New York, and the Beijing Conservatory etc..
Recently, Mr. Teufel has found interest in the American piano music of Howard Hanson, George Gershwin, Amy Beach, and others. He has recorded his first solo album, American Masters, which has been recently released and is available at iTunes, Spotify and other major streaming services.
I couldn't really be more excited about the upcoming concerts, including my Schumann recital "Dreaming.Schumann" at the fantastic Edward M. Pickman Concert hall at Longy Music School of Bard College as well as the exceptionally beautiful and interesting Metropolitan Waterworks Museum, where I will be performing water-related music. Come join me!
What a wonderful audiance and a great historical venue. I enjoyed the old Steinway, the artwork and the performance with such an engaged, interested and kind audiance. Thank you!
Playing on this instrument, which Schumann could have played himself, was a very inspiring experience. The incredible sound and the surprisingly advanced mechanics of the Streicher transformed my playing and made me think about Schumann in different ways than before. Especially all the polyphony in his composing was very easy to bring out and the softness of the dampers blended everything so much more subtle and gentle than a contemporary instrument could do. What an incredible medium for Schumann's music!
New York is always an inspiration, enjoy some footage of my recent trip to meet Mia Berman from the City World Radio Network.
Tune into tonight's show "Mia's World" of the City World Radio Network if you are up for some music online! Mia has selected several pieces for her show tonight at 7 pm and pieces from my recent album are among them!
