Christoph Deluze – Scriabin: Piano Works (2022) [Official Digital Download 24bit/192kHz]

Christoph Deluze began his first musical studies at the Neuchâtel conservatory as a pupil of Dinu Lipatti. He then went to the Guild HallSchool of Music of London in the piano class of E. Philipp. During this period he was one of the few pianists who was able to work with Shura Cherkassky.

His further studies with Dagobert Buchholz in Vienna were very important for his future musical development. As Bucholz had met and knew Rachmaninoff, Katchaturian, Chostakovich as well as, of course, most major interpreters of Russian music, he was able to transmit to Deluze the interest and appropriate emotions for an enlightened understanding of the Russian repertoire. Dagobert BUCHHOLZ was also the friend of Vladimir SOFRONITSKY, son-in-law of Alexander SCRIABIN and one of the legendary interpreters of this composer. Christoph DELUZE has directly received a musical heritage of the very particular way SCRIABIN interpreted these works (not always annotated in the partitions).

He received awards at several international competitions and played in many major European concert halls: London, Barcelona (Teatro del Liceo), Vienna, Krakow, Brussels, Geneva (Victoria Hall), Minsk and Belgrade. He has also given concerts in Greece and India. He participated five times in the music festival “La Schubertiade” of the Radio Suisse Romande, and several concerts were broadcast live.
