Hansjörg Albrecht is one of the few artists who are internationally present as a conductor, concert organist and harpsichordist. The universal musician and Capellmeister in the baroque understanding of music is regarded above all as a specialist for the opulent music of the 18th century - for Handel, Bach and his sons as well as the Viennese Classic.

As an exceptionally versatile musician, however, he consistently goes his own way: with a continuing preoccupation with Bruckner and Wagner as well as an extensive repertoire up to Olivier Messiaen, numerous world premieres and a faible for forgotten composers such as Hans Rott, Walter Braunfels and Mieczysław Weinberg. With his organ transcriptions, he established himself as a specialist among the virtuosos of his instrument. Albrecht succeeded the legendary Karl Richter as conductor of the Munich Bach Choir and the Munich Bach Orchestra from 2005 to 2023 and led the ensemble to new international fame with concerts and tours in Europe, Russia, Israel and Japan. He is the permanent guest conductor of the Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach Choir Hamburg and Principal Guest Conductor at the Teatro Petruzzelli Bari, Italy's fourth largest opera house.

As Artistic Director of the newly founded CPE Bach Academy, which is under the patronage of Ton Koopman, he is working to establish Hamburg internationally as a Bach city. In addition, he works closely since many years with the Opera House San Carlo Naples, the Russian Chamber Orchestra Moscow, the Staatskapelle Weimar as well as the Hamburg and Munich Symphonic Orchestras.

His concert activities take him to music centres such as London, Paris, Amsterdam, Vienna, Berlin, Rome, Prague, Moscow, Tokyo and New York, and he regularly collaborates with internationally renowned artists and orchestras. Albrecht has conducted prestigious Mozart opera productions at the Teatro San Carlo Naples and the Dubai Opera House, as well as ballet projects with the dance companies of Marguerite Donlon and Boris Eifman.

Current projects take him through Europe and to China several times. In 2024, Anton Bruckner will be the focus of his concert activities with various concert projects on the occasion of his 200th birthday. He has released over 30 CDs as a conductor and organist on the OehmsClassics label and has been nominated for a GRAMMY Award. By 2024, he will realise the first complete recording of all Bruckner symphonies as organ transcriptions at original European venues.
