Instrumentalist - Piano
About
The Turkish pianist and composer Fazil Say was born in Ankara and studied piano and composition at the state conservatory of his home city. As a seventeen-year-old student, he was awarded a scholarship enabling him to work for five years with David Levine at the Robert Schumann Institute in Düsseldorf. He then went on to pursue his studies at the Berlin Conservatory. France's Le Figaro states, "He is not merely a pianist of genius; undoubtedly he will be one of the great artists of the twenty-first century." His newest recording, "Pictures" [which includes Pictures at an Exhibition], has received the "Album of the Month" award in France, the "Choc de Classic" prize.
