Described by a leading critic as "one of the most interesting pianists recording today", German pianist Michael Endres is considered one of the world's top Schubert interpreters. He won prizes at the Geza Anda and International Schubert Competition in Switzerland and Germany. His extensive (and multiple-prizewinning) discography includes the complete sonatas of Mozart, Schubert, Weber and Bax, and complete solo works of Ravel and Schumann, and he has appeared throughout the US, Europe and Asia in such exalted venues as Carnegie Hall, the Berlin Philharmonie, Musikverein Vienna, and Suntory Hall. Endres accompanied legendary Baritone Hermann Prey for many years, and has appeared in major festivals in the US and Europe. He was professor of piano at the Hochschule fuer Musik in Cologne, and then until 2009 at the Hochschule Hanns Eisler in Berlin. From 2009 to 2014 he taught at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, followed by four years at the Barratt Due Institute of Music in Oslo, Norway. He currently resides in New Zealand.
Michael Endres will give his fourth recital for Waikanae Music Society on 18 September, performing works by Schubert, Liszt and Schumann. His performance of Schubert's Wanderer Fantasy in 2021 was rewarded with a standing ovation and his return visit this year is eagerly anticipated.
