Dezsö Ránki's Biography

Reviews

Platea Magazine

“With a precise and clear pulsation, always “cantabile”, Ránki gave a lection on how to play the young but already matured Mozart, full of brilliance but as well with this certain concentration of “bello Andantino”, the second time after the first Allegro.”

Süd-West Deutscher Rundfunk

“The sounds that the hungarian pianist Dezsö Ránki sets forth from the piano are clearly accentuated, his touch is of great facets – at times martially convinced, at others softly poetic, concise and clear.”

barcelona-metropolitan.com

“He took the not at all easy notes of Piano Concerto No. 9 (1777) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to crystal clear highs while simultaneously creating jazzy lows, establishing an excellent relation between the weight of the notes and the intense pace of the Allegro.”
