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, he regularly appears as soloist with the major orchestras and as a passionate chamber music player. Born in Austria in 1974, he studied with William Pleeth for ten years and, in 1997, graduated from Musikhochschule Köln with highest merits, having learnt from Maria Kliegel. He has recorded nearly 30 CD albums for paladino music, Musicaphon, Gramola and Naxos and is the editor of a much-acclaimed series of all major cello etudes for the Bärenreiter- Verlag.
