Daniel Heide
Pianist Daniel Heide specializes in collaborative playing but has also performed and recorded as a soloist. He is the founder of the concert series Der lyrische Salon -- Liederabende auf Schloss Ettersburg.
Heide was born in Weimar, then in East Germany, in 1976. He took up the piano at age five, with his first lessons coming from his mother, a pianist and singer. A year later, he enrolled at the Musikgymnasium Schloss Belvedere, a Weimar music school for gifted music students; there, he studied with Sigrid Lehmstedt. For a time, he abandoned music in favor of percussion lessons and competitive cycling, but at 17, he returned to his keyboard studies, enrolling at Franz Liszt University in Weimar. He studied there with Ludwig Bätzel but also directed much of his own education, attending song master classes with the likes of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Christa Ludwig, and getting valuable guidance from them. Heide would go on to focus on collaborative pianism in his performing and recording career. He made his recording debut in 2009 on the Ars Produktion label, backing violist Pauline Sachse on the album Viola Tales.
Heide has appeared as an accompanist in many European countries, in such prestigious venues as the Philharmonie in Berlin, Wigmore Hall in London, and the Prinzregententheater in Munich. His services are in heavy demand among both singers and instrumentalists. Heide works frequently with the mezzo-soprano Stella Doufexis, and among his other regular vocal collaborators are mezzo-soprano Ingeborg Danz and contralto Britta Schwarz. He has also accompanied the likes of Christoph Pregardien, Simone Kermes, and Luca Pisaroni, among others, in lieder recitals. Heide's instrumentalist collaborators include violist Tabea Zimmermann, violinist Antje Weithaas, and cellist Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt. In 2011, Heide founded the concert series Der lyrische Salon -- Liederabende auf Schloss Ettersburg at a castle outside Weimar; the art song event has been repeated monthly ever since and has attracted growing crowds of young people. He is also active as a solo pianist and has issued several recordings of Beethoven sonatas on the CAvi-music label. Many of his collaborative recordings have also appeared on that label, but in 2022, he moved to Deutsche Grammophon, backing baritone Andrè Schuen on a recording of Schubert's song cycle Schwanengesang, D. 957.
