Alexandre Kantorow is one of the most distinguished pianists of his generation. Now in demand at the highest level, Kantorow has become known for his profound artistry and virtuosic flare. The youngest recipient of the prestigious Gilmore Artist Award (2024), Gramophone called him ‘the real deal, a fire-breathing virtuoso with a poetic charm’ and Fanfare referred to the young pianist as ‘Liszt reincarnate’. In 2019, at the age of 22, Kantorow made history as the first French pianist to win the Gold Medal at the Tchaikovsky Competition as well as the Grand Prix, awarded only three times before in the competition’s history.
