Nelson Goerner

Although he has a broad repertoire, he is best known for his dedication to the works of Chopin. His musical journey began at a young age when he studied the piano as a child and continued when he attended the Buenos Aries Conservatory. In 1986, Nelson Goerner came to prominence when he won the Franz Liszt Piano Competition and then debuted with the Buenos Aires Philharmonic Orchestra.

As a recording artist, he has recorded many acclaimed albums of solo piano recitals and performances with a full orchestra. Nelson Goerner’s debut album, Chopin: Piano Works, was released in 1997.
