Martin Rummel
Cellist Martin Rummel, who specializes in 20th century and contemporary music, has amassed a large catalog of recordings as a soloist and chamber music player. He is also the author of crime fiction.
Rummel was born on May 2, 1974, in Linz. His father was a law professor, and he received a classical education at a Linz Gymnasium. Rummel's first instruments were the piano and harpsichord, but he switched to cello at age eight, studying with Wilfred Tachezi at the Anton Bruckner Private University for Music, Drama, and Dance, becoming the school's youngest-ever graduate in 1991. He continued to study the harpsichord but eventually laid that effort aside. Even as a student, he was focusing on contemporary music, giving the premiere of a cello concerto by Helmut Rogl in 1994; he has given the premieres of some 20 cello concertos. Rummel went on to the Musikhochschule in Cologne, Germany, studying cello with Maria Kliegel and graduating in 1997. He also took lessons from Robert Cohen and William Pleeth in London; he was the last student of the latter.
By the late '90s, Rummel was already active as a professional cellist. He released his first album, featuring the Concertino of Bohuslav Martinu, on the Musicaphon label in 1996, and in 2000, he began teaching at the University of Kassel. That year he also taught at the International Summer Academy Kurt Pahlen Lenk in Switzerland, and he has gone on to teaching and directorial positions at various music festivals. Rummel continued to record for Musicaphon through much of the 2000s and 2010s, issuing a complete set of Beethoven's cello works with pianist Gerda Guttenberg, among other albums. He co-wrote several pieces of crime fiction, and one of his books, Suite Opus 1, was notably successful commercially.
Rummel has appeared at such major halls as the Konzerthaus and the Musikverein in Vienna, the Brucknerhaus in Linz, and the Tonhalle Düsseldorf, also making tours of the U.S. and Oceania. He is in wide demand for master classes and has taught at the University of Auckland, where he also served as Head of School. In the 2010s, Rummel recorded a variety of albums for Naxos, Capriccio, Paladino Music, and other labels, both as a soloist and as a chamber player. By 2022, when Rummel and pianist Mari Kato issued the first volume in a set of works for cello and piano by David Popper on Paladino Music, Rummel's recording catalog comprised more than 65 items.
