- Interview starts at 2:58. “If I can’t relate to music then I don’t play it, because it’s like the chemistry between two people. You understand each other or you don’t understand each other, and if you don’t, then you can work on that - but… why?”
Olga Scheps is the face of modern classical music. Not only is she a prolific pianist who has reached number 1 on the German charts and released 9 CDs, she also has a massive social media following and has helped bring a love of classical music to a young generation.
I sat down with Olga in her studio in the heart of Cologne to discuss her passion for the piano, how she recently became a mother, why she values honesty and hence has enemies, the process for recording albums and more.
Olga began playing piano at age 5. Born in Moscow, her parents moved to Germany in 1992 where she studied at the Cologne Academy of Music. She won the German musical competition Jugend Musziert (Youth Makes Movement) in 1999 which led to her performing at the Rheingau Music Festival followed by the Ruhr Piano Festival, where she still performs.
Olga has been signed to Sony Classical since 2009 and has just recorded her 9th album, made together with the Kuss Quartett. She previously reached number 1 on the German charts with her 2016 album, which featured Eric Satie. She also won the ECHO award, in the category of “Young artist of the Year” for her album “Chopin.” Her 2019 album “Melody” was nominated for two Opus Klassik Awards.
Olga has worked with Arie Vardi, Dmitri Bashkirov, Andrei Gavrilov and Alfred Brende and is advised by her former professor, Prof. Pavel Gililov as well as her parents, who are both pianists. She is also a member of the select group of Steinway Artists.
Her repertoire is incredibly diverse. She performs not only famous classics such as Bach and Tchaikovsky, but also songs by modern musicians like the Aphex Twins and Ludovico Einaudi and even Scooter songs such as Hyper Hyper.

shes adoreable in every way! she seems like the bigger sister you wanna have
So, Olga Scheps speaks German, Russian and English, amazing!! She´s young, beautiful and very very talented. Famous concert pianists are usually very serious and at times they don´t even seem normal :) but not Ms. Scheps...she's funny, down-to-earth and humble. This interview showed us the human side of a virtuoso pianist! This is something the world should know. Good job!
I follow her on twitch, she is a wonderful pianist with a great heart.
Enjoying hearing that you, Olga, have decided to teach your son Russian and German. And obviously, English. I am a citizen of the United States of America. English is my native language. No other language was spoken in my home growing up. I was exposed to Latin and French in school. I attempted to learn to speak Spanish as an adult. Recently, with the help from RUclips and several language apps, I have tried many, many languages. Ukrainian being one of the latest. Having recently visited the Netherlands, I am trying Dutch. The world is so connected now. It seems as if knowing a little of many languages is a good thing.
She is so beautiful and talented.
Olga is just so wholesome. Such a lovely person.
Caitlin, I think you are a wonderful interviewer. You seem to make Olga feel safe and comfortable. The joy in your voice seemed to be very helpful with Olga. Very natural. Great job!
She's so inspiring and has a drive which grabs your sense of doing what's right, no matter what the consequences. Bravo beautiful one! Bravo! Bravo!
Classical music is always been the base for music styles , can be heard at the heart of every rock and roll.
Olga Scheps, Satie play is the best and evolving 👍
There is a superb video before just going on stage , looks like A deep breath and away you go !

She’s so gangster ❤️
Olga Scheps, the most incredibly beautiful woman on the planet. An amazing pianist who really does tell a story with notes and expression. We both have something in common I don't think we could live without, and that is Chopin!
I will go out on a limb here, I wish I was married to Olga and I would take her out on a date any time, anywhere. It's very unfortunate that Olga isn't single :). Keep smiling Olga, your eyes and your smile is magical.
Nice interview, great pianist ! Tx
