Jakob Fichert’s recitals include great works from the canon as well as hidden gems, often neglected in concert programmes. His solo repertoire ranges from renaissance to contemporary; he premiered numerous works – many dedicated to him.

'Pianist Jakob Fichert ... plays with expressivity, and passion where called for, and makes the lighter pieces sparkle.’ Fanfare Magazin
