Watch the whole concert: • Nicolas Economou plays...
Nicolas Economou (Greek: Νικόλας Οικονόμου; 11 August 1953 - 29 December 1993) was a Cypriot composer and pianist born in Nicosia, Cyprus. A precociously gifted pianist, Economou came to international attention at the 1969 Tchaikovsky Competition when he was 16. After studying at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow he eventually moved via Düsseldorf to Munich. From his base there he established himself throughout Europe as a concert pianist, composer, arranger, conductor and organiser of music festivals. In December 1993 Economou was killed in an automobile accident in Cyprus while driving at night in thick fog.

Сколько жизни и искрометности в его исполнительстве, сколько бы новых прекрасных произведений мы могли бы услышать в интерпретации этого талантливого пианиста, но увы....Его давно нет с нами, но живет его музыка, покоряющая душу и сердце.

Molto bella questa interpretazione di Schumann, molto difficile da interpretare..

written close to centuries ago. a little ahead of his time?
