Alban Gerhardt

Alban Gerhardt is a German classical cellist known for a wide-ranging repertoire that stretches from cornerstone works like Bach’s six solo cello suites and Elgar’s Cello Concerto to major 20th- and 21st-century concertos. He’s also recognized for championing contemporary music, including recording Unsuk Chin’s Cello Concerto, and for pairing the instrument with less typical lineups—like cello with saxophone quintet on *Phantasy in Blue*.

On record, he’s built a reputation as a curious, versatile player: alongside standard concerto fare (including Shostakovich’s two cello concertos), he’s explored Romantic-era rarities such as the Vieuxtemps and Fitzenhagen cello concertos (featured in Hyperion’s *Romantic Cello Concerto* series) and paid homage to the cello tradition with tribute projects like *Rostropovich Encores*.
