About Vladimir Stoupel, piano

Vladimir Stoupel is an individualist with an extremely rich tonal and emotional palette. His extraordinary technical command allows him to explore the outermost limits of expression, mesmerizing audiences with his musical intensity.

As a piano soloist, he has appeared with orchestras including the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, the Konzerthaus Orchestra Berlin, the Gewandhaus Orchestra Leipzig, the Symphony Orchestra of the Bavarian Radio, the German Symphony Orchestra, and the Radio Symphony Orchestra Berlin.

The Washington Post praised his "protean range of expression," and Der Tagesspiegel Berlin described his performance as "enthralling." After a solo recital, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung granted the pianist a critic’s greatest compliment: "Unforgettable!"

In recent years Vladimir Stoupel has also made a name for himself as a conductor. He conducts chamber operas at Konzerthaus Berlin and has guest conducted orchestras including the Berlin Symphony Orchestra, the Mainz State Orchestra, the Brandenburg State Orchestra, the Czech Chamber Philharmonic, the Berlin Kammerphilharmonie, the Orquesta Sinfonica de Cuidad d'Oviedo, the Mendelssohn Chamber Orchestra Leipzig, and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Marseille, among others.

In 2022 he was decorated by the French government as Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.
