Helmut Deutsch<br />
Music in My Hands<br />
My life as an accompanist<br />
pastime." Martin Hoffmeister, MDR Kultur<br />
"Outstanding." Ingrid Wanja, OperaLounge<br />
Around the world, the lied is experiencing a<br />
renaissance and Helmut Deutsch is one of<br />
the best and most successful accompanists<br />
of the genre. The career of the Vienna-born<br />
pianist began with the singer Hermann Prey,<br />
a collaboration which took him first to Japan<br />
and then all over the world. Top ranking singers<br />
of our time perform with him.<br />
In his autobiography, which has received<br />
much press acclaim, the author gives honest<br />
insights into his personal and artistic relationships,<br />
the demands of the profession and<br />
lied singing. He humorously describes unforgettable<br />
moments on stage and provides the<br />
reader with a behind-the-scenes look into the<br />
music business.<br />
• the first biography of a lied accompanist<br />
after Gerald Moore's "Am I too<br />
loud"<br />
• works together with artists such as<br />
Jonas Kaufmann, Diana Damrau,<br />
Camilla Nylund, and Mauro Peter<br />
• a unique narrative about life and the<br />
lied<br />
