Gunilla Süssmann (b 1977 in Bergen) is one of the most sought after Norwegian pianists of her generation. In recent years her international career have been increasingly growing and Süssmann is highly acclaimed by both audience and press. Within Norway she has been awarded numerous prizes and awards, and in 2006 she was nominated for Les révèlations Internationales d´année at Midem, Cannes. She is a regular guest at the major festivals in Norway as well as abroad, and is a popular soloist with main orchestras in Norway and Europe. She has given recitals in Concertgebouw, Wigmore Hall, throughout Europe, in Asia, South-America and USA. In 2005 she released her solo-CD "Tockà", to overwhelming reviews worldwide, and further releases include a.o. "Malinconia" with cellist Tanja Tetzlaff and "Romances" with soprano Solveig Kringleborn. Both received exceptional reviews and attention. Chamber music has a special and dear place in her heart, and she collaborates regularly with musicians such as Tanja Tetzlaff, Solveig Kringleborn, Lars Anders Tomter and Raphael Wallfisch. Her repertoire includes works from Bach to Messiaen, Crumb and contemporary composers, but her heart lies in the romantic era. Upcoming concerts include recitals in Germany, chamber music at the Vestfold-festival, Ludwigsburg Schlossfestspiele and recitals with Randi Stene and Solveig Kringleborn. www.gunillasussmann.no June 2009
