George-Emmanuel Lazaridis

George-Emmanuel Lazaridis is a Greek-British classical pianist celebrated for his virtuosic technique and expressive interpretations of Romantic-era repertoire. Born in Greece, he began piano lessons at age 5 and gave his first concert at 10, later studying at London’s Royal Academy of Music. Known for his bold approach to heavyweights like Beethoven, Schumann, and Liszt (check out his thrilling *Sonata in B Minor* recording), he’s performed with major orchestras like the London Philharmonic and Berlin Symphony. Lazaridis balances dramatic flair with meticulous attention to structure – a combo that shines in his recent *Schubert: Wanderer Fantasy* release. When he’s not recording for labels like BIS or Warner Classics, this Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship winner collaborates with artists like Maxim Vengerov and curates concert series, keeping classical traditions fresh for modern audiences.
