Detlev Eisinger

Detlev Eisinger (* November 26, 1957 in Munich) is a German pianist.

Life and work

Eisinger began playing the piano at the age of seven years and came up with eleven years to the pianist Walter Krafft (* 1936 in Bucharest ), whose teacher Florica Musicescu ( 1887-1969 ) had also taught Dinu Lipatti. In 1967, Krafft, the Munich Music Seminar and has been its director. He was Eisinger's most important piano teacher and enabled him at the age of 13 years, the first piano recital and the first orchestral concert in Munich. From 1976 Eisinger studied with Professor Erik Then-Bergh at the Munich Academy of Music and graduated there in 1980 his state examination with distinction. A scholarship led him in 1986 to the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris.

Even earlier, when 14 -year-old, he made the first recordings in the studios of the Bayerischer Rundfunk, and the age of 16 he played his first record 's including with the Sonata Pathetique by Ludwig van Beethoven and Variations sérieuses by Felix Mendelssohn. After graduating he began an active concert career at home and abroad. These here is the complete performance of the Well-Tempered Clavier by Johann Sebastian Bach in Munich, Vienna, Salzburg and Klagenfurt. In addition, he was in Menton, Paris, Montpellier, to hear the Kissinger Sommer, at the Richard Strauss Festival in Garmisch -Partenkirchen and the Kodály Festival in Kecskemét, Hungary; In addition, there were five concert tours in South Africa.

An artistic milestone was the commitment of the Munich Piano Summer 1990 with a performance of Carnaval by Robert Schumann, after which Friedrich Gulda designed the second part of the concert for Eisinger. This was followed by his debut at the Berlin Philharmonie with Mendelssohn's G minor Piano Concerto and piano recitals in European capitals as well as in Toronto / Canada and San Francisco / USA. A number of radio and television recordings and CD recordings joined in, also of large, cyclical works of the piano literature.

Eisinger was also active as a chamber musician and as an accompanist, for example, Hermann Prey and Kieth Engen.

Impact on the audience successes were his lecture concerts (concerts with introductory notes ), because on such occasions, the well-prepared audience came to a deep and lasting experience of the performance, especially for large works such as Bach's Goldberg Variations, Beethoven's Diabelli Variations and a cycle with its 32 piano sonatas. A Conversation concert in 2002 at the Villa Wahnfried was the starting point for Eisinger's commitment at the Bayreuth Festival. For seven years, from 2002 to 2008, he held here in the form of piano matinees introductory lectures on all the operas of Richard Wagner, which further invitations of various domestic and foreign opera houses meant. After 2008, he was engaged for several years on such introductory lectures also the Richard Wagner Festival in Wels.

Eisinger feels completely committed as an interpreter of the spirit of each plant, taking the naturalness and the intention of the composer in the foreground at all personal opinion and sensation.

Current projects by Detlev Eisinger are the CD recording of all the Beethoven piano sonatas, which he prefaces the first pianist of each sonata notes with sound samples, and the introduction of lectures on all the Wagner operas modeled after the matinee performances in Bayreuth.
