Ammiel Bushakevitz

Pianist Ammiel Bushakevitz is active as a soloist and chamber music player, but he is best known as a song accompanist. In that capacity, he was one of the last students of famed baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. Bushakevitz was born on April 9, 1986, in Jerusalem, Israel, but he moved during childhood with his family to the Afrikaans-speaking city of George in South Africa's Western Cape province. He took up the piano at age four. Bushakevitz's training was primarily European; he studied at the Conservatoire de Paris (CNSMD) and the Hochschule für Musik und Thater Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy in Leipzig, Germany. His teachers included pianists Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Helmut Deutsch, and Alfred Brendel. He also studied vocal accompaniment with Fischer-Dieskau in Berlin as one of Fischer-Dieskau's last private students; Bushakevitz was chosen as the accompanist for Fischer-Dieskau's master classes at the University of the Arts in Berlin and the Schubertiade festival in Schwarzenberg, Germany. Bushakevitz went on to a distinguished career as a vocal accompanist, performing with world-famous singers, including sopranos Teresa Berganza and Barbara Bonney, baritone Thomas Hampson, and bass-baritone Thomas Quasthoff. He has also performed as a solo pianist, and in that capacity, he released his debut album, Ammiel Bushakevitz Plays Schubert, on the IAWS label in 2013. Music from that album was featured in the film Gwendolyn. Bushakevitz is in demand at festivals, performing solo and as a chamber player at the likes of the Lucerne, Salzburg, and Aix-en-Provence festivals. He has performed at such major venues as Wigmore Hall in London, the Berlin Konzerthaus, Shanghai Concert Hall in China, and Carnegie Hall in New York. Bushakevitz has recorded as both a soloist, releasing an album of Schubert piano works on the Hänssler Classic label, and more often as an accompanist, backing Nina Bernsteiner on the Gramola album Sisi Poems: Lieder der Kaiserin Elisabeth. He accompanied Timothy Fallon on the BIS album Crepuscolo: Songs by Ottorino Respighi in 2022. He returned in 2023 with a pair of albums, backing soprano Katharina Konradi on the album Insomnia: Franz Schubert on the Berlin Classics label and baritone Samuel Hasselhorn in a Harmonia Mundi recording of Schubert's song cycle Die schöne Müllerin, D. 795; the latter inaugurated a series of Schubert recordings set to culminate with the bicentennial of Schubert's death in 2028.
