from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Klaus Storck (born February 11, 1928 in Berlin ; † March 18, 2011 in Katowice ) was a German cellist.

Life

Klaus Storck received his first violoncello lessons at the age of eight . After moving to the Musisches Gymnasium in Frankfurt am Main , he continued his studies there with Rudolf Metzmacher . From autumn 1946 Storck studied at the Northwest German Music Academy in Detmold with Hans Münch-Holland. As a scholarship holder of the German National Academic Foundation , he spent several years with Enrico Mainardi . Concert tours as a soloist and chamber music player have taken Klaus Storck to many countries around the world. Over the years he has developed an extensive repertoire with works from classical and romantic concert and chamber music literature . Storck has repeatedly included pieces by lesser-known composers and works of contemporary music in his programs. So he sat down for compositions a. a. von Britten, Martin, Schostakowitsch, Genzmer, Bialas, Kagel, Baird and Medek, often as an interpreter in world premieres. His solo and chamber music repertoire has appeared in numerous radio and television recordings, and his discography is also extensive. Klaus Storck's first recording of the Sonata for Arpeggione and Piano by Franz Schubert on original instruments received special international attention. The duo activity with the harpist Helga Storck (his wife) and joint concert appearances with the pianist Aya Ishihara developed into chamber music focuses . Klaus Storck has also made a name for himself as an editor of works for cello.

One son is the surgeon and violist Martin Storck .
