Life

After initially studying the violin , he only switched to the piano at the age of 14 and made his debut at the Vienna Konzerthaus in 1999 . He studied at the Carinthian State Conservatory in Klagenfurt and at the Linz Conservatory and at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna . Wunder is the winner of the second prize at the International Chopin Competition 2010 in Warsaw, Poland. He also won three special prizes: for the best concerto, the best polonaise fantasy and the audience award.

In 2006 he released his first CD with works by Frédéric Chopin and Maurice Ravel as well as Franz Liszt . In June 2011 his second CD was released exclusively with works by Chopin on Deutsche Grammophon . Further CDs on Deutsche Grammophon : 300 , piano concerts with Vladimir Ashkenazy and Chopin & Liszt in Warsaw .

Wunder started the music and art education platform Apassio together with Paulina Wunder.

Scandal at the 2010 International Chopin Competition

In October 2010 he took second place among over 80 participants at the International Chopin Competition . During the competition, Wunder was widely recognized as the best competitor - the crowd's favorite and the leader on points. However, in the final phase of the competition, the jury said goodbye to the points system and only selected the winners based on the last round. Although Wunder won the award for the best concert (only the concert was to be played in the last round), he was not awarded the gold medal (awarded to Julianna Avdejewa ). This shook the Warsaw public, who viewed the events as a scandal similar to the Ivo Pogorelich case of 1980.
