Felix Gottlieb studied in Riga at the Emīls Dārziņš Music School, then at the Jāzeps Mediņš Music College under R. Michelson. He continued his studies in Moscow with Alexander Goldenweiser. From 1963, he was a student at the Moscow Conservatory under Emil Gilels and Tatyana Gutman.

At the 5th International Tchaikovsky Competition, he received the special prize for Best Performer of Chamber Music. His solo career began in 1970.

In 1990, Felix Gottlieb emigrated to Germany. He became a professor in Stuttgart and, five years later, at the Hochschule für Musik in Freiburg. He regularly gives masterclasses across Europe and the United States and serves on the juries of numerous international competitions.

In 2000, he founded the International Piano Academy, and in 2005, the International Academy of Chamber Music.

Gotlib has performed with many renowned musicians, including Daniil Shafran, Alexander Rudin, Vladimir Spivakov, Sergey Stadler, and Alexander Vinitsky. He has recorded for EMI, RCA, Victor Melodia, and others.

His solo albums include works by Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms, G.F. Handel, and Edison Denisov. His collaborative recordings include works with Daniil Shafran, Sergey Stadler, Géza Gábor, among others.

He toured extensively worldwide. Edison Denisov dedicated his Variations on a Theme by Handel to him.
