Vladimir Stoupel
A student of Lazar Berman, pianist Vladimir Stoupel essentially falls into the grand Russian virtuoso tradition. However, he also ventures into contemporary music and into the realm of lesser-known works, both as a pianist and, increasingly often, as a conductor.
Stoupel was born on May 10, 1962, in what was then the Soviet Union. His mother, Rimma Bobritskaya, was a pianist, and he had his first lessons with her starting at age three. By 12, he was ready to make his debut, playing the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor, Op. 23, at the famed Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory. He attended that school, studying piano with Yevgeny Malinin and conducting with Gennady Rozhdestvensky, and went on for five years of private study with pianist Lazar Berman. In 1984, Stoupel moved to Paris, later taking French citizenship. It didn't take him long to make an impact on the Western competition scene, as he took a top prize at the Concours Internationale d'Exécution Musicale in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1986. Stoupel has gone on to a top-level international career with concerto appearances across Europe, in Russia, and in the U.S., performing with the Russian National Orchestra, the Berliner Philharmoniker, and the Staatskapelle Weimar, among other groups. He made his recording debut in 1996 on the EDA label with The Life of the Machines, an album of futurist works.
An enthusiastic chamber player, Stoupel has performed in that capacity with violinists Judith Ingolfsson (to whom he is married) and Mark Peskanov, cellist Peter Bruns, and the Robert Schumann String Quartet, appearing in the New York Philharmonic's chamber music series at Merkin and Avery Fisher Halls. As a conductor, Stoupel has led the Philharmonie Neubrandenburg, Nîmes Chamber Orchestra, and the Berlin Kammerphilharmonie, among other groups. He conducted the first performance outside Russia of Mieczyslaw Weinberg's opera Pozdravlyayem!, translated into German as Wir gratulieren! ("We Congratulate You!"). In 2008, Stoupel made a complete recording for the Audite label of Scriabin's piano sonatas, difficult works he had memorized in their entirety as a young pianist. He later recorded a series of albums for Accentus, many focusing on French repertory. In 2020, he recorded Wir gratulieren! as a conductor with the Kammerakademie Potsdam for Oehms Classics. Stoupel joined Ingolfsson for a recital of works by Karol Rathaus, Heinz Tiessen, and Paul Arma in 2021. The duo returned on Oehms Classics in 2024 with an album of works by Rebecca Clarke.
