Mental Pianist

Lauded for spontaneous performances with a “spirituality that is no longer heard today“, he was based primarily in Paris thanks to the support of the French government, and thus was trained, encouraged and acclaimed by Europe’s greatest musicians born in the early 20th century, including Aldo Ciccolini, Ivan Moravec, Paul Badura-Skoda, Vitaly Margulis (grandpupil of Scriabin), Dominique Merlet, cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, and briefly maestro Claudio Abbado and maestro Seiji Ozawa.

While in Paris he was influenced by other such Parisian icons as Jean Cortot and Milan Kundera.

Most formatively, he trained in America for several years with Byron Janis (himself an erstwhile live-in protégé of Vladimir Horowitz), with whom he worked through most of the output of Chopin and Rachmaninoff. He specialises in Chopin, Schumann, Scriabin, Franck, Rachmaninoff and Ravel.
