A deeply passionate and sensitive performer, Christian Blackshaw is celebrated for the incomparable musicianship of his performances. His playing combines tremendous emotional depth with great understanding, sheer musicality and humanity.
Following studies with Gordon Green at the Royal College in Manchester and the Royal Academy in London, he was the first British pianist to study at the Leningrad Conservatoire with Moisei Khalfin. He later worked closely with Sir Clifford Curzon in London.
He has performed worldwide with leading orchestras and at major festivals. Conductors with whom he has collaborated include Sir Simon Rattle, Valery Gergiev, Gianandrea Noseda, Yuri Temirkanov and Sir Neville Marriner.
He is also Artistic Director of the Hellens Music Festival which was established in spring 2013.
Recent notable appearances include the South Bank International Piano Series, the Berliner Philharmoniker, Tokyo, Montreal, the Aldeburgh Festival, the Bamberger Symphoniker, the RAI National Symphony and the Mariinsky Orchestra with Valery Gergiev at the Stars of the White Nights in St Petersburg.
His hugely acclaimed Wigmore Hall complete Mozart sonata series ended in early 2013 and subsequently Wigmore Hall Live has issued all four volumes. Critics have been unanimous in their praise, describing these “landmark” recordings as “captivating”, “magical” and “masterful”.
