"He shapes to the demands of whatever he plays like fine wine to a goblet. His taste is impeccable, his physical command of the piano is remarkable. Refinement of style informs every moment" - Oz Arts Review
“high-calibre playing with a controlled vehemence that you might have encountered in a musician twice his age. He is a significant talent.” – The Age
"On the evidence of this recording, Roberts has the potential to become an international star… [He] draws on a dazzling rainbow of tonal colours. It's playing that rivets the attention. It's virtuosic playing that is frankly thrilling." - The West Australian
AUSTRALIAN-born pianist Cameron Roberts is recognised as an artist of great distinction and originality. He performs in Australia, England and Spain as soloist and chamber musician whilst gaining growing success as a composer and arranger. Performances have taken him throughout the UK, Spain, Belgium, the USA, Colombia, Thailand, Singapore and Australia. He has performed in ensembles in The Royal Albert Hall, London, The Konzertgebauw, Netherlands, and The Sydney Opera House, Australia, and as soloist collaborating with such conductors as Lawrence Foster, John Hopkins and Dobbs Franks, performing concertos by Brahms, Beethoven and Rachmaninoff, amongst others.
His debut CD recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations and Original Transcriptions (2006) is praised as ‘thought-provoking’ and ‘a disc of rare and valuable insight’, and has been used in the Australian film, Lucky Miles (2007). His performing repertoire includes major works such as Iberia by Albéniz, and The 24 Preludes by Rachmaninoff and an array of original piano transcriptions which he has recently recorded (Move Records, 2009) to critical acclaim: 'his taste is impeccable… it's virtuosic playing that is frankly thrilling."
Roberts maintains a strong interest in contemporary music, jazz and composition, and with the recent support of the Ian Potter Trust and the Michael Kieran Harvey Piano Scholarship, is writing works for solo piano (recorded on Tall Poppies), chamber ensembles and a book on ‘Piano Technique Optimisation’ following research at the Institut für Musikphysiologie und Musikermedizin, Hannover.
His early years of study were with Mack Jost (piano) and Christopher Martin (violin). He later completed studies in both Medicine and Music at The University of Melbourne, and furthered his musical training at the Australian National Academy (Ronald Farren-Price and Michael Harvey, piano), the Tanglewood Institute, USA, and privately at the Moscow Conservatory, Manhattan School of Music, and London's Royal Academy.
This season he performs in London's Purcell Room, Southbank Centre, St.Martin-in-the-Fields, St.James's Piccadilly, in Madrid's Auditorio Nacional, Teatro Monumental, Teatro Albéniz, Fundación Canal; Colombia and Australia, and makes collaborations with Jacques Zoon (flute), David Walter (oboe), and Beate Altenburg (cello), amongst others.
