A nostalgic, polished baroque artist.
German harpsichordist Alexander Grychtolik attended the Franz Liszt College for Music in Weimar, where he studied harpsichord with Bernhard Klapprott, and received the Franz Liszt Prize in 2005. He studied harpsichord with Frédérick Haas at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, and later studied architecture at the Bauhaus University in Weimar, where he researched concert halls in the former East Germany. Grychtolik has performed at several music festivals, and taught at conservatories in Frankfurt and Weimar. Much of his attention has been focused on early music, and he has been involved with the reconstruction of works by Johann Sebastian Bach, particularly in editing the St. Mark Passion for Edition Peters and giving performances of it. Grychtolik has also edited the reconstructed cantatas O angenehme Melodei, BWV 210a, and Klagt, Kinder, klagt es aller Welt, BWV 244a. Grychtolik is the spouse of harpsichordist Aleksandra Grychtolik.
