THE PIANIST WITH 50 FINGERS, OR THE INCREDIBLE DESTINY OF GYÖRGY CZIFFRA

Back at Bourgie Hall after his resounding success in 2017, Pascal Amoyel pays tribute to legendary Hungarian pianist György Cziffra. Works by CHOPIN, ELLINGTON, GERSHWIN, LISZT, and SCHUMANN support Amoyel’s narrative of Cziffra’s adventure-filled life.

Pascal Amoyel
Voted “Solo Instrumental Discovery of the Year” at France’s Victoires de la Musique in 2005, Pascal Amoyel began piano studies at 10 years of age at the École normale de musique de Paris and was soon noticed by György Cziffra, with whom he later studied in France and Hungary. After graduating with the Baccalauréat série scientifique, Pascal Amoyel decided to devote himself entirely to music, marking the beginning of his thriving international career and performances at numerous prestigious venues around the world. His recordings, both as a soloist and with cellist Emmanuelle Bertrand have received highly coveted distinctions, such as the Cannes Classical Award, the Diapason d’or de l’année, and a “Choc” rating from the Monde de la Musique.
