Michael Rische is an internationally acclaimed German pianist whose work is distinguished by his dedication to both popular and lesser-known classical repertoire. Known for his nuanced interpretations, Rische has carved out a niche as an authority on the keyboard concertos of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, bringing them to the contemporary audience with a fresh and invigorating perspective. His expertise in this area is demonstrated by the significant number of C.P.E. Bach's piano concertos he has recorded. Through his efforts, Rische has contributed to a renewed interest in this particular part of the classical music canon, while his musicianship brings a vibrant and articulate voice to these historical compositions.

Over the years, Rische has also explored the works of various other composers, evident in his performances of pieces such as Erwin Schulhoff's Piano Concerto, Op. 11, and a rendition of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20. His album "Piano Concertos of the 20s" reflects his curiosity and willingness to explore the evolution of piano concertos through different eras, highlighting his versatility and depth as an artist. Whether it's through the vibrant energy of the early Classical period or tapping into the more complex and emotional narratives of the 20th century, Rische's recordings have consistently garnered praise for their clarity, expressiveness, and insightful interpretation.
