One can hardly imagine a more devoted champion of neglected and rarely played composers than pianist Oliver Triendl. His tireless commitment – primarily to romantic and contemporary music – is reflected in almost 150 CD recordings. The scope of his repertoire is surely unique, comprising some 90 piano concertos and hundreds of chamber music pieces. In many cases, he was the first to present these works on stage or to commit them to disc.

As a soloist Triendl has performed together with many renowned orchestras. The list includes the Bamberg and Munich Symphonies, Munich Radio Orchestra, Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, NDR Radio Philharmonic, Gürzenich Orchestra, Munich Philharmonic, German Radio Philharmonic, German State Philharmonic of Rhineland-Palatinate, Staatskapelle Weimar, Munich, Southwest German, Stuttgart, Württemberg and Bavarian Radio Chamber Orchestras, Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, Orchestre Symphonique de Bretagne, Mozarteum Orchestra of Salzburg, Tonkunstler Orchestra Vienna, Netherlands Symphony Orchestra, Czech State Philharmonic, Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, Sinfonia Varsovia, Polish Chamber Philharmonic, Sinfonietta Riga, Georgian Chamber Orchestra, St. Petersburg Camerata, Zagreb Soloists and Shanghai Symphony Orchestra. The avid chamber musician has concertized with fellow musicians such as Ana Chumachenco, David Geringas, Ilya Gringolts, Frans Helmerson, Sharon Kam, Isabelle van Keulen, Pekka Kuusisto, François Leleux, Lorin Maazel, Paul Meyer, Sabine and Wolfgang Meyer, Charles Neidich, Arto Noras, Christian Poltéra, Alexander Sitkovetsky, Baiba Skride, Christian and Tanja Tetzlaff, Radovan Vlatković, Jan Vogler, Antje Weithaas, Carolin and Jörg Widmann. He performed with Apollon musagète, Artis, Atrium, Auryn, Carmina, Danel, Keller, Leipzig, Mandelring, Meta4, Minguet, Pražák, Schumann, Sine Nomine, Škampa, Talich and Vogler String Quartets.

Triendl, a native of Mallersdorf, Bavaria, where he was born in 1970, and a prizewinner at many national and international competitions, studied under Rainer Fuchs, Karl-Heinz Diehl, Eckart Besch, Gerhard Oppitz and Oleg Maisenberg. He has concertized with success at festivals and in many of Europe’s major music centers as well as in North and South America, South Africa, Russia and Asia.
