Cord Garben

**Cord Garben** is a German classical pianist and collaborative artist celebrated for his nuanced interpretations of Romantic and late-Romantic repertoire. Known for his work as an accompanist to legendary singers like Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Julia Varady, Garben has carved out a niche in art song (Lieder) and operatic adaptations, particularly through his recordings of Wagner’s epic works arranged for two pianos. His recent releases—spanning Bach, Chopin, Schubert, Wagner, and lesser-known composers like Hausegger and Pejačević—highlight his versatility and dedication to reviving underappreciated gems alongside canonical masterpieces.

With a career steeped in chamber music sensitivity, Garben brings clarity and emotional depth to collaborations, whether in intimate song cycles or grand operatic reductions. His partnership with Fischer-Dieskau remains a cornerstone of his legacy, showcasing his ability to balance poetic subtlety with dramatic power. For classical enthusiasts, Garben’s recordings are a gateway to both the familiar and the undiscovered, delivered with a pianist’s precision and a storyteller’s flair.
