Christoph Richter

A student of the great cellists Andre Navarra and Pierre Fournier, (and a close collaborator with Sandor Vegh at IMS Prussia Cove and Salzburg), Christoph Richter scooped prizes at the Rostropovich Competition in Paris, and in Geneva. Firmly committed to contemporary music he has worked with composers including Penderecki, Kurtag, Henze, Lachenmann and Holliger. As a soloist he has performed with many leading European orchestras, but he is also a keen and active chamber musician - cellist with the Heine Quartet, one half of the Boccherini Cello Duo, and a member of Capella Andrea Barca. His festival appearances have embraced all four continents. 'Richter', insists Andras Schiff, 'is an outstanding musician and first class cellist. I hope that we will often make music together'.
