Martin Stadtfeld is a contemporary German classical pianist admired for his interpretations of Baroque and early Classical repertoire, with a particular emphasis on the works of Bach. Born on May 19, 1980, in Koblenz, Germany, Stadtfeld expressed a keen interest in music from an early age, beginning his piano studies at the tender age of six. He came to widespread attention following his first-place win at the 2002 International Bach Competition in Leipzig, which launched his international career.

His approach to the works of old masters is both reverent and inventive, often featuring his own arrangements and variations, as evidenced by his recent releases like "Vivaldi: Four Seasons Winter Variation" and "Bach: The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I: Prelude No. 1 in C Major, BWV 846 (Arr. for Piano four hands by Martin Stadtfeld)." Stadtfeld's style marries technical proficiency with a deeply emotional understanding of the music, something appreciated by both critics and audiences alike. Through his recordings and performances, he delivers a refreshing modern perspective on classical compositions while maintaining the integrity and spirit of the original works. His album "Baroque Colours" continues this trend, showcasing his ability to draw vivid musical landscapes through his piano. Stadtfeld's dedication to his craft and his unique contributions to classical music keep him at the forefront of contemporary classical pianists.
