..his engrossing approach to Bach, revealing both a convincing realization of the polyphonic potential of the suites and an interpretation that combined poetic beauty with unforced virtuosity, illustrated A.v. Wangenheims mastery of the instrument and his musical gifts, but is also the fruit of long exposure and detailed study..

Andreas von Wangenheim is regarded as one of the most interesting and expressive guitarists on his generation. He received his musical education at the music conservatories of Hamburg and Basel. In 1987, he won the Bach Prize of the international guitar competition for students in Europe and has since given concerts in most European countries as well as Korea, China, Japan, Canada and the USA. He is a guest of well known festivals such as the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, Chamber Music Festival Delft, Rheingau Music Festival, Appollonia Festival Sofia and “Ticino Musica” Switzerland.

Andreas von Wangenheim

recorded his own transcriptions (Arte Nova/ BMG) of the six solo cello suites for the "Bach Year 2000" for which he received excellent reviews. Also with Arte Nova, he recorded a CD containing his own transcriptions of Mozart and Haydn Divertimenti.
