Andrej Ivanovich Hoteev (Андрей Иванович Хотеев/Andrei Chotejew; born 2 December 1946) is a Russian classical pianist living in Germany.

Early life

Andrej Hoteev was born in Leningrad. He studied piano at the Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory in Saint Petersburg as well as at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow with Lev Naumov.[1][2]

Performances

He gave his first concert in 1983 at the Moscow Conservatory. Other concerts all over Russia followed. His encounter with Sviatoslav Richter[3][4] in June 1985 at Saint Petersburg had a deep influence on Hoteev's pianistic style.[5] After the recommendation of Valery Gergiev he had the chance to give concerts in the Netherlands at Concertgebouw Amsterdam and in Germany at the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival in 1990.

Hoteev's first European tour followed in 1993, including cities in Russia, Great Britain, Germany, Belgium and Spain. In the same year, he recorded his first CD in France. In September 1993 Hoteev played the manuscript version of Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition for the first time in the UK at the Purcell Room, London.[6] In October 1993 a concert with Hoteev and the Saint Petersburg Academic Symphony Orchestra was broadcast from the Saint Petersburg Philharmonic Hall, presenting a new version of the Piano Concerto No. 3 by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky with explanations by the pianist himself, who had rediscovered the original version with three movements after manuscripts by the composer.[7] Also in 1993 he moved to Hamburg with his family.

In 1995 he gave several concerts in France. Among the concert venues on this tour were Salle Pleyel in Paris as well as the Festival de Radio France et Montpellier. He played with the Orchestre national du Capitole de Toulouse, Orchestre National de Montpellier Languedoc-Roussillon and the Concerts Lamoureux Symphony Orchestra Paris.

Hoteev's premiere of the cycle of all three Tchaikovsky concertos in the original versions at the large hall of Moscow Conservatory as well as Tchaikovsky's Concert Fantasy for piano and orchestra, in November 1996, gained him worldwide attention and gave him the reputation of a Tchaikovsky expert. Two years later he presented and recorded the same program, along with the Allegro in C minor, as well as the Ungarische Zigeunerweisen by Franz Liszt and Sophie Menter in an orchestration by Tchaikovsky.[8][9] Another important activity is his work with radio and TV corporations like NDR and Deutschland Radio Berlin in Germany, VARA[10] and VPRO[11] Netherlands, Radio Lugano Switzerland, NHK and TBS in Japan.

In 2006, Andrej Hoteev realized a project with colored light, pictures and music at the Greater Hall of the Laeiszhalle Hamburg. As soloist accompanied by Hamburg Symphony Orchestra conducted by Andrey Boreyko he presented the authentic colour light score with Clavier à lumières of Alexander Scriabin's Prometheus: The Poem of Fire rediscovered by himself as well as the original colored light and picture scores by Wassily Kandinsky to Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition.[12][13]

In 2014, as a result of his research, Andrej Hoteev presented his new CD recording of Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" after original manuscripts from the Russian National Library of St.Petersburg.[14] He found numerous discrepancies compared with conventional sheet music editions that really changed the very essence of the music. [15] The present recording unveils the unconventional, unspoilt music that the composer originally intended.[16] The most important deviations are clearly documented with the use of illustrations from the manuscripts in the accompanying CD booklet.[17] The press says about the expressive power, dynamics, colour richness and intensity of Hoteev's performance of Mussorgsky's originals[18] [19]" German Record Critics' Award" nomination 2014[20]

In January 2015 has Andrej Hoteev was awarded the "5 Diapason", France for outstanding classical music recordings.[21]

He also appeares as pianist at recitals e.g. by Robert Holl. Having started in 2006, Andrej Hoteev also works together with soprano Anja Silja having realized several artistic programs with her ever since.[22]
