ABOUT THE ARTIST
Reed Tetzloff, described by Richard Goode as “a musician of great authority,” has been hailed for his “richly communicative” performances (The Cincinnati Enquirer). He came to international attention at the XV Tchaikovsky Competition, where he was called “the lyric hero of the competition.” (Сноб Magazine). He has excited audiences worldwide since making his Lincoln Center concerto debut at Alice Tully Hall in 2012.
He has appeared in European venues including the Berlin Philharmonie, the Laeiszhalle in Hamburg, Düsseldorf’s Kunstpalast, the Allerheiligen Hofkirche at the Munich Residenz, Prague’s Rudolfinum, the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, Place Flagey in Brussels, De Singel in Antwerp, and the Théâtre d’Angoulême. His frequent solo recitals in the United States have been heard from coast to coast. In Asia, his 2024 debut at the Seoul Arts Center was broadcast on Korean television. He has also performed in major venues across China.
South Florida Classical Review recently named Tetzloff’s performance of Robert Schumann’s Piano Concerto with the Miami International Piano Festival Orchestra as one of the Top Ten Performances of 2023, and wrote: “Combining artistic intelligence, immaculate technique, and daredevil bravura, Tetzloff’s playing was idiosyncratic in the best sense of the term.”
Other orchestral engagements have included the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, the Minnesota Orchestra, the Moscow Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra, the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, the Tbilisi Symphony Orchestra, and the Wisconsin Philharmonic Orchestra, among many others. As both soloist and chamber musician, Tetzloff has been in residence at festivals such as the Grand Teton Music Festival, the International Keyboard Institute and Festival, the Miami International Piano Festival, Piano en Valois, and the Festival de Musique de Wissembourg.
Reed Tetzloff has recorded for the Aparté, Master Performers, and Romeo Records labels. In May 2024, the first volume of a recording of the complete Beethoven Concertos was released on the Aparté label, with Paweł Kapuła conducting the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. The album garnered five-star reviews in Diapason and Classica magazines, and was presented on France Musique as Disc of the Day.
The release of the complete Beethoven cycle on Aparté is scheduled for spring 2025. He previously received career grants from Charlotte White’s Salon de Virtuosi and from the Center for Musical Excellence, which sponsored his debut album Sounds of Transcendence on Romeo Records. Reviewing the album, Patrick Rucker in Gramophone Magazine extolled his “kaleidoscopic colors” and “fervent rapture” in music of Franck, Scriabin, and Charles Griffes. His album of Schumann piano works was released in 2021 on Master Performers and noted for its “originality and uncommon perceptiveness” (Voix des Arts). This was followed by a second release on Master Performers, Concord—produced by the Grammy-award-winning Steven Epstein—which garnered wide acclaim, including a five-star review in Fanfare Magazine that praised his “warmth and wide range of colors” in sonatas by Ives and Beethoven.
Born in Minneapolis, Reed Tetzloff first studied there with Dr. Paul Wirth. At the Mannes School in New York, he completed both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees studying with Piano Department Chair Pavlina Dokovska. Within his first year and a half of undergraduate study at Mannes, he had won the school’s two largest awards: the Concerto Competition and the Nadia Reisenberg Competition. He also won prizes from various international competitions, including the Tbilisi International Piano Competition and the Cincinnati World Piano Competition.
Reed Tetzloff is also an accomplished writer. Huntley Dent in Fanfare Magazine remarked of his essay on Robert Schumann, “He explores the music’s intricacies deeper than any other pianist I’ve heard commenting on the piece, rising almost to Charles Rosen’s exalted intellectual level.” Tetzloff is currently at work on a collection of essays.
