Alberto Neuman

Alberto Neuman (born in Buenos-Aires,) is an Argentinian pianist. A disciple of Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli,[1] Neuman began his career while a student at the Roma Conservatory. In 1961 he won the international Viotti Piano Competition in Vercelli. He studied also with Carlo Zecchi, Walter Gieseking, Vincenzo Scaramuzza, Galia Schalman and Wilhelm Kempff. Neuman has been active as a concert pianist mainly in Europe, but has also performed regularly at Japan and Latin America.[2] He was previously a professor at the Paris Conservatoire Supérieur and at the Conservatoire d'Angoulême. Alberto Neuman is often seen as a foremost representative of argentinian culture in Europe : "Comment serait Paris aujourd'hui, s'il lui manquait les échos du bandonéon de Piazzolla, sans la voix d'Atahualpa Yupanqui, sans les pièces de Lavelli ou d'Arias, sans les claviers de Martha Argerich ou d'Alberto Neuman, sans les figures peintes par Le Parc, sans les portraits laissés par Cortazar, sans la présence constante dans l'air parisien de la prose et des vers de Borges, sans le tango ?"
