Laureate
The New York Times raved that Italian pianist Roberto Plano “showed artistic maturity beyond his years…” at his Alice Tully Hall recital debut. He has since gone on to perform with conductors including Conlon, Marriner and Zukerman, and performed with chamber groups including the Jupiter and Enso String Quartets. He is a Laureate of the 2003 Honens International Piano Competition, and was winner of the 2001 Cleveland, Finalist of the 2005 Van Cliburn, and Third Prize Winner of the 2006 Dublin International Piano Competitions. Plano’s friendly and outgoing personality has made him a favourite for repeat live and broadcast performances. In addition to his disc of works by Brahms on the Honens label, Plano has recorded two other CDs, for the Sipario Dischi and Azica labels.
