Ramin Bahrami was born in Teheran in 1976. He studied with Piero
Rattalino at the conservatory „G. Verdi“ in Milan, at the
Accademia Pianistica „Incontri col Maestro“ in Imola and with
Wolfgang Bloser at the Hochschule für Musik in Stuttgart. He
perfectionated under Alexis Weissenberg, András Schiff, Robert
Levin and, in particular, with Rosalyn Tureck, the artist who,
more than any other in the 20th century, popularized
Bach’s works through her research and performances.
In February 1998 Ramin Bahrami made his debut at the Teatro
Bellini in Catania.
During the following years he performed regularly at well-known
concert-halls in Italy and Germany.
In November 1999 he performed the Goldberg Variations at
the „Sala Verdi“ in Milan. The Partitas, the
Klavierkonzerte and the Goldberg Variations were
presented in several Italian (Rome, Milan, Florence, Messina,
Salerno, Pisa) and German cities. Especially with the
Goldberg Variations he achieved great success at the
„Palazzo del Quirinale“ (directed by Radiotre).
In July 2005 he participated in the final concert of the XXX
Cantiere Internazionale d’Arte di Montepulciano performing Hans
Werner Henze’s Chamber Concert with the Janacek
Philharmonic Orchestra directed by Jan Latham-Koenig. He further
performed the Concert KV 466 by Mozart and in Germany the
Fantasia Op. 80 by Beethoven, accompanied by the
Kammerphilharmonie Stuttgart.
Quite recently he performed the Second Concert by
Saint-Saëns with the Orchestra Verdi of Milan and the Concert
in C Major KV 503 by Mozart at the Auditorium in Rome,
directed by Lü Ja. In spring he made a tour with three
Concerts by Bach with the Latvian Philharmonic Chamber
Orchestra and will make his debut at Wigmore Hall in London in
June.
Ramin Bahrami‘s activity regarding his discography is very
intensive, too: After his first three discs with music by Bach
and Mussorgsky, Decca published his recording of the Goldberg
Variations and the 7 Partitas by Bach. In January
2007 The Art of Fugue by Bach, his latest recording, was
published, again by Decca.
