Imogen Cooper is a distinguished British classical pianist, renowned for her profound poise and intimate expressiveness. Born on August 28, 1949, in London, she developed a passion for the piano at a young age. She honed her craft at the Paris Conservatoire under the tutelage of Jacques Février and Yvonne Lefébure, and later took guidance from Alfred Brendel, a mentorship that deeply influenced her artistic approach. Cooper has since established a commendable career gracing concert halls across the globe, with a particular affinity for the Romantic repertoire.

Her discography reveals a thoughtful curator of both well-loved classics and subtle masterpieces, as seen in albums like 'Le temps perdu' and 'Iberia y Francia', which showcase her fascination with French and Spanish compositions. With albums such as 'Imogen Cooper Plays Beethoven' and 'Imogen Cooper's Chopin', she brings a delicate precision and emotional depth to the works of these legendary composers. Cooper's approach to Schumann, as seen in her releases 'Imogen Cooper Plays Schumann' and 'Schumann & Reimann (Wigmore Hall Live)', is especially celebrated for its insightful interpretation. Her recording of 'Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 27 K. 595' further solidifies her stature as a pianist of remarkable insight and sensitivity, earning her a respected spot among the foremost interpreters of classical piano music.
