Artur Pizarro is renowned for his performances of Rachmaninoff. A former winner of the Leeds Piano Competition (he played the Third Concerto when he won the competition in 1990), Pizarro offers his listeners a lifetime of love for, and experience with, this music which speaks, as he says, 'of the endless variety of the human condition'.

A 7-CD set comprising all three volumes of Pizarro's Rachmaninoff solo piano recordings will be released in early 2016. Another new Pizarro album is Rachmaninoff's Piano Trio No. 2 in D minor 'Trio xe9lxe9giaque' with violinist Christian Tetzlaff and cellist Tanja Tetzlaff for the Avi Music label. In 2014, Artur Pizarro and the Italian pianist Rinaldo Zhok formed a duo for both the piano duet and two piano repertoire. Their debut disc together - of music by Antonin Dvorak - will also be released by Odradek.
