Our featured pianist comes from a family with a long musical tradition.

Educated at a chorister boarding school, Andreas Lucewicz became familiar with each and every individual voice of the entire works of the great masters from the fourteenth to the twentieth century. At this stage he was mainly self-taught at the piano and he also played the organ, the flute and the horn for some time. The piano however became his preferred instrument.

He studied in Stuttgart, Vienna and Munich with Jürgen Uhde, Edgar Trauer, Dieter Weber and Ludwig Hoffmann. His love of Lieder deepened at masterclasses given by Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Gérard Souzay.

Concerts with Svjatoslav Richter followed, making Andreas Lucewicz one of a select circle of only six pianists worldwide who have performed together with Richter.

Andreas Lucewicz lives in Schönau/Südsauerland/Germany. His concert tours at home and abroad encompass a broad repertoire of the major works alongside lesser known pieces. He is much sought after as a song accompanist and chamber music pianist.

In both his concerts and on his CD (EigenArt/TACET “Unknown Piano Works”, CD 10070) we feel the intense interplay of his profound, entirely personal interpretive style and his breathtaking technical mastery. FonoForum magazine expressed this the most beautifully in a review of his performance of Janáčeks Piano Sonata: “…you just can’t listen to him often enough.” – Reimut Vogel
