“The clean, lyrical virtuosity from Johannes Pramsohler is the kind that begs you to simply sit back and soak it all up” Gramophone
Johannes Pramsohler is widely acclaimed as one of the leading lights in the new generation of Early Music performers. A virtuoso soloist and conductor with an entrepreneurial mind, Johannes leads his own award-winning record label (Audax Records) and directs his own Ensemble Diderot which can be anything in size from a trio, to a chamber orchestra and chorus with soloists. He approaches programming and collaborations with the same inventive spirit bringing a joyful sense of adventure to his music-making. Johannes is also a sought-after educator holding a PhD in Historically Informed Performance from the Royal Academy of Music as well as speaking no less than five languages.
As concertmaster, Johannes has collaborated with Concerto Melante (members and guests of the Berliner Philharmoniker on historical instruments), Le Concert d’Astrée, Concerto Köln, the European Union Baroque Orchestra, the International Baroque Players, The Kings Consort and The Niedersächsische Staatsorchester Hannover. As a soloist, Johannes has performed with the Budapest Festival Orchestra and Ivan Fischer, the Taiwan Baroque Orchestra, Helsingin Barokkiorkesteri (Helsinki Baroque Orchestra), and Darmstädter Barocksolisten and as a conductor, Johannes directed more than thirty performances of Purcell: Dido and Aeneas throughout France and a critically acclaimed production of the opera Croesus by Reinhard Keiser at the Théâtre de l‘Athénée in Paris. His most recent conducting engagements took him to Buenos Aires for a staged production of Handel: Theodora at the Teatro Colón and to Innsbruck for Beethoven symphonies with the Tiroler Symphonieorchester (Tyrolean Symphony Orchestra). Upcoming conducting engagements include Barokkanerne in Oslo for Mozart symphonies and piano concertos, and other touring with his own Ensemble Diderot includes appearances at Berliner Philharmonie, Opéra de Lille, The Hague, Opéra de Rouen, Auditorium di Milano Fondazione Cariplo: Largo Gustav Mahler, Kölner Philharmonie and tours through Austria, Germany, Italy and France.
