A fellow native of Vienna, pianist Gottlieb Wallisch has appeared in the world’s most prestigious concert halls and festivals including Carnegie Hall in New York, Wigmore Hall in London, Kölner Philharmonie, Tonhalle Zurich, National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing, Ruhr Piano Festival, Beethovenfest in Bonn, and the Festivals of Lucerne and Salzburg. Conductors with whom he has performed as a soloist include Sir Neville Marriner, Dennis Russell Davies, Kirill Petrenko, Martin Haselboeck and Bruno Weil. Orchestras he has performed with include the Vienna Philharmonic, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Frankfurt Radio Symphony, Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra Budapest and the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra.

In 2012 he was named as a Steinway Artist, and his discography features a vast repertoire, ranging from the complete Beethoven piano concertos on period instruments to the ongoing series 20th Century Foxtrots for Grand Piano, which presents forgotten piano music from the jazz era of the 1920s and 1930s. In its second volume (GP814) these recordings were described as ‘intoxicating fun’ in The Arts Desk, and The New York Times remarking that ‘One of the year’s most surprising and consistently charming recording projects continues to gather steam.’

‘This is sprightly, energetic stuff, thanks in no small part to Wallisch’s crisp technique and deep feeling for the period.’ – The New York Times (on Wilhelm Grosz Vol.1: GP927)
