A disciple of Vlado Perlemuter and Jean Hubeau, Michel Dalberto is a great heir of French piano music. Upon winning the Leeds Piano Competition, Clara Haskil Prize and the First Mozart Competition in Salzburg at his early age, Dalberto established his leading role as one of Europe’s most artistically sensitive and perceptive pianists. He is currently piano professor at the Paris Conservatory, also adjudicating at Leeds, Rubinstein, Dublin and Montréal competitions.
“Ravel’s Gaspard de la Nuit is a barn-storming piece that has been known to give pianists terminal tendonitis…In the hands of Michel Dalberto this work was compelling…a tour de force.”

“Solo recitals don’t get any better than this.”
– The Toronto Star
