"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, Australia
Australian-born pianist Cameron Roberts, is recognised as an artist of great distinction and originality. His recent CD recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations and Original Transcriptions is praised as ‘thought-provoking… a disc of rare and valuable discretion’, and has been used in the film Lucky Miles (2007). His performing repertoire includes the monumental Iberia by Albeniz, The 24 Preludes by Rachmaninoff, and original solo piano arrangements of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture and Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No.3. Roberts studied both medicine and music at The University of Melbourne, before advancing his musical studies at the Australian National Academy, and further at the Moscow Conservatory, Manhattan School of Music, Royal Academy, London, and the Tanglewood Institute, USA. In his home country he won first prizes in The Mozart Concerto Competition (1997), The Grainger Competition (1998), and was finalist in the National Piano Award (2004). He has performed as soloist in London, York, Gante, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Singapore, Sydney and Madrid, in ensembles in The Royal Albert Hall, London, The Konzertgebauw, Netherlands, and The Sydney Opera House, and he has collaborated with such conductors as Lawrence Foster and John Hopkins, performing concertos by Brahms and Rachmaninoff, amongst others. Roberts maintains a strong interest in contemporary music, jazz and composition, and with the support of the Ian Potter Trust and the Michael Kieran Harvey Piano Scholarship, is currently writing a collection of works for solo piano, and also a book, 'a medical and scientific approach to piano technique optimisation'. He performs concerts this season in London (St.Martin-in-the-Fields, Chelsea Schubert Festival), Bath, Essex, Kent, Madrid (Auditorio Nacional, Teatro Albéniz, Fundación Canal) and Australia, and will record a new disc of original transcriptions in December, 2008.
