Born into a musical environment which cultivated his passion for the piano, Dünki studied at prestigious institutions, honing a style that embraces both rigorous technical skill and expressive sensitivity.

Dünki's discography reflects his scholarly approach to music and his keen interest in the historical and theoretical context of the works he performs.
