Andreas Haefliger is a renowned classical pianist distinguished for his nuanced interpretations and technical proficiency, especially within the works of Ludwig van Beethoven and other key composers from the classical and romantic periods. Born into a musical family—his father was the esteemed tenor Ernst Haefliger—Andreas has built a notable career that touches the hearts of audiences and garners respect from critics around the globe.

Haefliger's discography reflects a deep engagement with Beethoven's repertoire, evident in his series of releases focusing on the composer's piano sonatas, including the challenging Hammerklavier Sonata (Op. 106). His project, "Perspectives," showcases his profound interest in exploring thematic and narrative connections across different composers and eras, pairing classical cornerstone works with pieces by more contemporary composers like Dieter Ammann. His performances are characterized by a passionate investigation into the essence of the music he interprets, whether it's the bold textures of Beethoven's sonatas, the coloristic flourishes of Ravel, the intense emotions of Schubert's 'Erlkönig', or the intricate tapestries woven by Bartók and Janáćek. Haefliger's dedication to his craft not only solidifies his place in the classical music world but also contributes to the ongoing appreciation and understanding of timeless musical masterpieces.
