Thomas Hell • Piano
‘His playing successfully combines intelligence with virtuosity.’ – Alfred Brendel

The pianist Thomas Hell has established his reputation in an unusually broad repertoire. His musical explorations include the standard masterpieces, but he is particularly known for his penetrating performances of works by twentieth-century composers, such as Elliott Carter, Charles Ives, Arnold Schoenberg, Luigi Dallapiccola and Pierre Boulez. More recently he has received great acclaim for his performances of the complete Etudes pour piano by György Ligeti in Darmstadt, Basel and Tokyo. He received the coveted German Record Critics’ Award. He has recorded piano works by Max Reger and Robert Schumann, as well as a disc containing the two violin sonatas by Béla Bartók, performed together with Adrian Adlam, and the complete Etudes pour piano by Ligeti (WERGO). Thomas Hell has won prizes at several international competitions. He performs widely throughout Europe as well as in Japan and Russia. Following several teaching posts at the universities of music in Hanover and Stuttgart, Thomas Hell was appointed professor of piano at the University of Music in Mainz in 2016.
