Philipp Vandre

Philipp Vandre is a German pianist known for his insightful interpretations of 20th and 21st-century classical music, particularly the works of American composers Morton Feldman and John Cage. He's recorded extensively, releasing several acclaimed albums dedicated to their music, including complete cycles of Cage's prepared piano works and multiple volumes exploring Feldman's expansive and often quiet compositions.
