Alexandre Kantorow is a pianist that can’t be missed. The first French pianist to win first prize at the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition, and performing with orchestras like the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Orchestre Nationale de France, Kantorow is a rising star. In 2023, he gained worldwide popularity from his performance of “Jeux d’Eau” in the rain during the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, after which he was deemed “heroic and unflappable” by France3. His performances of nearly every iconic work for piano have garnered him acclaim, with Gramophone magazine describing his playing as an “outstanding example of virtuosity and artistry, displaying both skill and sensitivity from start to finish”.
