Alexander Rößler
The pianist Alexander Rößler,
grandson of the pianist and composer RICHARD RÖSSLER (1880-1962), studied under
Jürgen UHDE, Karl-Heinz DIEHL and Roland KELLER in Stuttgart, Munich and
Lübeck, where he finished his Concert Diploma with distinction. Also of
decisive value in his artistic development were his studies with Maria TIPO in
Florence, and an intense collaboration with the Russian pianist Stanislav NEUHAUS.
His international concert career started in 1973. His wide solo repertoire
includes the complete oeuvres of Brahms and Janáček (and the complete piano chamber music by
Beethoven and Brahms) as well as a special focus on pieces of the Viennese
Classic, by Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schumann as well as Scriabin, Szymanowski and
Prokofiev.
In 1982, he received the
“Szymanowski Memorial Medal” of the Republic of Poland, for his piano recitals
dedicated to the composer.
Many radio recordings chronicle his other artistic endeavours, which
include works by Clementi, Chopin, Brahms, Szymanowski. As well, there are CD
recordings documenting him playing compositions by Schumann, Schubert, Brahms, Janáček
and R.Rößler.
On one hand, Alexander Rößler has an intense engagement with the
fortepiano, but he is also skilled at Blues, Rock and free improvisations, thus
showing an impressive versatility.
Since 30 years Alexander Rößler is a Professor of Piano at the University
of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (before that - 1981-1987 - at the academy
of music in Lübeck ). Additionally -
since 1990 - he gives international master classes to
pianists in Europe (e.g. “Wiener Musikseminar” , “International Chamber Music
Festival Austria”), Korea and Japan.
