Andrej Ivanovich Hoteev (Андрей Иванович Хотеев/Andrei Chotejew; born December 2, 1946 in Leningrad) is a Russian classical pianist living in Germany.
Andrej Hoteev was born in Leningrad. He studied piano at Rimski-Korsakow-Conservatory in Saint Petersburg as well as at Tschaikowski-Conservatory in Moscow with Lev Naumov.
He gave his very first concert in 1983 at the Moscow Conservatory. Other concerts all over Russia followed. His encounter with Svjatoslav Richter in June 1985 at Saint Petersburg had a deep influence on Hoteev's pianistic style. After the recommendation of Valery Gergiev he got the chance to give concerts in the Netherlands at Concertgebouw Amsterdam and in Germany at Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival in 1990.
Hoteev's first European tour followed in 1993, including cities in Russia, Great Britain, Germany, Belgium and Spain. In the same year, he recorded his first CD in France. In September 1993 Hoteev played the manuscript version of Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition for the first time in the UK at Purcell Room, London. The Russian television of Saint Petersburg broadcast a concert with Hoteev and the Saint Petersburg Academic Symphony Orchestra in October 1993 from the Greater Hall of Saint Petersburg Philharmonic Hall presenting a new version of the 3rd piano concert by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky with explanations by the pianist himself, who had rediscovered the original version with three movements after manuscripts by the composer. Also in 1993 he moved to Hamburg with his family.
