Vladimir Stoupel

Russian-born pianist Vladimir Stoupel is an individualist with an extraordinarily rich tonal and emotional palette. The Washington Post praised his “protean range of expression” and Der Tagesspiegel described his performance as “enthralling and atmospherically dense.” His extraordinary technical command allows him to explore the outermost limits of expression, mesmerizing audiences with his musical intensity.

As a soloist, Vladimir Stoupel has performed with many leading orchestras, including the Berliner Philharmoniker, the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, the Konzerthausorchester Berlin and the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks.

He has been invited by international music festivals such as the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, Piano en Valois (France), Bargemusic Festival (New York City), the Berliner Festwochen, Printemps des Arts in Monte Carlo and the Helsinki Festival, and performs in the world’s leading concert halls, such as Berliner Philharmonie, Konzerthaus Berlin, Konzerthaus Dortmund, Avery Fisher Hall, and National Gallery in Washington, D.C..
His extensive discography includes a highly acclaimed recording of the complete Scriabin Piano Sonatas on Audite, for which he received the Luxemburgian Excellentia Prize, among others. His recording of Henri Vieuxtemps’ works for viola and piano with Thomas Selditz was awarded the coveted Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik (The German Record Critics’ Award).
