My Take
Gerhard Oppitz represents the kind of classical pianist I deeply admire: serious, rooted, and devoted to the German repertoire. Born in Frauenau, Lower Bavaria in 1953, he studied with Wilhelm Kempff among others, and in 1981 became the youngest professor in the history of the Hochschule fur Musik und Theater Munchen, where he still teaches. That blend of performing at the highest level while shaping the next generation is what earns my respect, and the 2014 Bavarian Maximilian Order recognizes exactly that. I picture his Brahms and Schubert as unhurried and thoughtful. A musician whose authority comes from depth, not showmanship.
