About Christian Poltéra
Artist Biography
Cellist Christian Poltéra's discography reflects the balance he keeps in his performance appearances between concerto, chamber, and recital concerts. He plays a remarkably broad range of repertoire, from mainstream works by J.S. Bach, Mozart, and Shostakovich to lesser-known fare by Frank Martin, Othmar Schoeck, and Michael Tippett. In recital and chamber music, Poltéra has collaborated with such artists as pianists Mitsuko Uchida and Lars Vogt, violinists Gidon Kremer and Christian Tetzlaff, and a spate of well-known and ad hoc ensembles, including the Zehetmair, Auryn, and Belcea quartets. Poltéra is also a member of the Trio Zimmermann with Frank Peter Zimmermann and Antoine Tamestit. In 2022, the box set A Retrospective, containing five Trio Zimmermann albums, was issued. That year, a recording of Poltéra leading the Munich Chamber Orchestra from the cello on a recording of two Haydn concertos and Hindemith's Trauermusik was released.
