Arnaldo Cohen is a Brazilian classical pianist whose virtuosity and profound musicality have established him as a performer of significance on the international concert stage. Born in Rio de Janeiro, Cohen initially pursued a dual career as both a concert pianist and a violinist, but his exceptional talent at the keyboard garnered prominence. A winner of the Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition in Italy, Cohen has since embarked on a career that has taken him across the globe, performing with major orchestras and at renowned recital halls.

Cohen's piano playing is characterized by a rich tonal palette and an interpretive depth that brings a distinctive insight to the works he performs. His repertoire is wide-ranging, though he has emerged as a particularly noted interpreter of the Romantic composers, including a solid body of work revolving around Franz Liszt and Robert Schumann. The list of his most recent releases, which include significant works by Liszt such as the "Dante Sonata" and the "Sonata in B Minor," as well as Schumann's "Fantaisie" and pieces by Brahms, showcases his affinity for the grandeur and expressive complexity of 19th-century music. His album "Brasiliana: Three Centuries of Brazilian Music" reflects a commitment to his Brazilian roots, unearthing and bringing to international audiences a taste of the country's rich musical heritage. With his combination of technical prowess and emotive interpretation, Arnaldo Cohen continues to captivate audiences and contribute to the classical music landscape.
