Ulrich Eisenlohr

Pianist Ulrich Eisenlohr specializes in lied accompaniment and chamber music. His collaborators in the lieder field have included Christoph Prégardien, Matthias Goerne, Wolfgang Holzmair, and a long list of other German singers. Eisenlohr's recording career began in the LP era. Since 1999, when he backed baritones Roman Trekel and Michael Volle on, respectively, recordings of Schubert's Winterreise, D. 911, and Schwanengesang, D. 957, he has been associated with Naxos. Those releases marked the beginning of the Deutsche Schubert Lied Edition, a 35-volume compilation of Schubert's complete songs, which concluded in 2011. Eisenlohr served as the project's artistic director. In 2021, Eisenlohr launched a new complete cycle of Brahms songs, backing Prégardien on the first volume.
