Geoffrey Parsons was an Australian classical pianist celebrated as one of the finest accompanists of the 20th century, particularly revered for his collaborations with legendary vocalists in the art song repertoire. Born in 1929, Parsons built a career marked by his sensitive, intuitive playing, elevating lieder (German art songs) and works by composers like Schubert, Schumann, and Brahms. His partnerships with icons like Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, and Victoria de los Angeles—featured in releases like *Victoria De Los Angeles: Romantic Chillout Classics* and live recordings from Wigmore Hall—showcased his ability to weave piano lines seamlessly with vocal storytelling. Though he passed away in 1995, his legacy lives on through recordings that capture his warmth, technical precision, and knack for making the piano “sing” alongside some of history’s greatest voices. A humble maestro of collaboration, Parsons remains a reference point for artistry in accompaniment.
