Martin Rummel is a virtuoso cellist who has infused almost every facet of his
career to reflect an uncanny versatility: with a broad repertory of 40 or so
concertos and countless other works, from Baroque to contemporary (lots of
contemporary!), he regularly appears as soloist with the major orchestras and as
a chamber music player, and he has taught at several distinguished music schools
and regularly gives master classes. In addition, he has served as director of
the Klassik Musikfest Mühlviertel in Oberneukirchen, Austria, and has been
artistic director/advisor for several other major musical events. But his talent
and activities dont end there: Rummel co-wrote two crime novels, with Reinhard
Cebulla, the first of which, Suite Opus 1 (2002), became quite popular. Rummel
has premiered 20 or so concertos, including those by Helmut Rogl (1994) and
Graham Whettam (2000), and he has given the first Austrian performance of
numerous works, including by Gubaidulina, Howard Blake, and Morton Feldman. Yet
Rummel, the champion of the contemporary, also plays J.S. Bach, Beethoven,
Schubert, and Reger with utter conviction and masterly insight. Rummel has made
numerous recordings, most appearing on Musicaphon and Redcliffe Recordings.
Martin Rummel was born in Linz, Austria, on May 2, 1974. He studied cello from
eight years of age with Wilfred Tachezi. He had later studies with Maria Kliegel
at the Musikhochschule in Cologne, from where he graduated in 1997. He also
worked with William Pleeth in London.
Rummels interest in contemporary music was fueled when, at 16, he met composer
Alfred Schnittke. From about 1993, when he premiered the Cello Sonata of Graham
Whettam, Rummel has been devoted to introducing new works. In 1996 Rummels first
recording appeared on Musicaphon, the Concertino for cello by Martinu. Rummel
soon found time for teaching, working at the International Summer Academy Kurt
Pahlen Lenk in Switzerland (1999-2003), and, from 2000, at the Music Academy in
Kassel, Germany.
By the early years of the new century Rummels concert career was in full bloom
throughout Europe. His American debut was in 2000, the year he began serving as
artistic director of the Kammermusik Festival in Wilhering, Austria. Rummels
second collaboration with Reinhard Cebulla resulted in the 2005 novel Suite Opus
3. In 2009 Rummel was appointed senior lecturer in cello performance at the
University of Auckland. Among Rummels later recordings is the 2008 Musicaphon CD
of sonatas by J.S. Bach and Reger.
