David Helfgott

Worldwide famous pianist David Helfgott will be in İzmir and Ankara in December.

David Helfgott played one of the worlds hardest piano concertos of Rahmaninov and "The Last Great Romantic, Rahmaninov" has been selected the most successful classical album by Billboard magazine.

Over half of a century, his life has taken some of the most improbable turns imaginable. As early as the age of five, many began to realize that David Helfgott had a gift with his piano playing ability. He was nothing less than a child prodigy. Throughout the early years of his life, he earnestly went about the studies of music and managed to win numerous awards for his prowess with the piano.

Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse around 1970. Illness overtook David Helfgott for well over a decade. During this time, the professional concert platform was not a part of his life and he lived a life of obscurity-deep in the heart of Australia.
