Mordecai Shehori

**Mordecai Shehori** is a distinguished classical pianist celebrated for his meticulous interpretations of works by composers like Frédéric Chopin and Ludwig van Beethoven. Born in Israel, Shehori honed his craft under legendary mentors, including Artur Rubinstein and Claudio Arrau, whose influences shaped his expressive, detail-oriented approach to performance. Known for his deep respect for historical performance practices, he emphasizes clarity, nuance, and the composer’s original intent, earning acclaim for both live concerts and recordings.

Shehori’s recent projects highlight his dedication to Beethoven’s catalog, with a multi-volume series unpacking the composer’s early works (even pieces written in Beethoven’s teens!) and later masterpieces. His *Complete Nocturnes* of Chopin and *Celebrated New York Concerts* live recordings further showcase his versatility and passion for intimate, dynamic storytelling at the piano. With releases like *Encores, Vol. 1*, he balances grand cycles with playful, crowd-pleasing gems—proving that classical music can feel fresh, personal, and utterly alive in his hands. A true scholar-artist, Shehori’s recordings are labors of love for dedicated listeners and newcomers alike.
