Andreas Haefliger is a Swiss-born pianist whose career has spanned solo recitals, concerto engagements, and celebrated chamber music collaborations. A key figure in the Beethoven repertoire, he has presented the complete Beethoven solo works in a curatorial series titled Perspectives (Perspectives 1–7), a project that juxtaposes Haefliger's readings with others to illuminate the breadth of Beethoven's piano writing. His discography with BIS Records includes a world-premiere recording of Dieter Ammann’s Gran Toccata with Susanna Mälkki and the Helsinki Philharmonic, alongside concertos by Ravel and Bartók. His recent Beethoven recording, Beethoven: Piano Sonatas Op. 31, was released on BIS in 2022.
Haefliger has enjoyed a long-standing collaboration with violinist Hilary Hahn and has given numerous notable duo recitals at Wigmore Hall since the 2010s. A recipient of prestigious awards, he shared the Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik for Schubert Goethe Lieder with Matthias Goerne, recognizing his sensitive lieder accompaniment and collaborative artistry. His activities extend beyond performance into festival appearances, recording projects, and ongoing curatorial explorations of repertoire spanning classical to contemporary music.
For fans and new listeners alike, Haefliger’s performances are characterized by clarity of touch, thoughtful pacing, and a commitment to presenting music in a way that is approachable yet intellectually rigorous. Whether interpreting intimate lieder collaborations or embarking on ambitious solo cycles, his concerts invite listeners into a well-informed, deeply felt musical conversation.
