Welcome to the Website of Michael Thalmann

I am a Swiss classical musician. It is  my life's work and interest to discover and strive to express in my concerts the psychological and emotional secrets of classical piano music.  A never ending journey. 

Sometimes, my journey involves stepping out into the unknown, into the dark even, following my inner voice. Musicians are like farmers, they cultivate their creative landscape according to weather conditions, only in their case the weather happens inside their soul, not outside. 

 My work is more done by hand than thought out.
They are drawings that I start with a spontaneous line, then I let myself be guided. In that initial moment, I don't know what I'm going to depict and I let myself be continually surprised and inspired by what I've just made. The drawing flows out of me, so to speak, like a landscape from my inner world.
