Witold RowickiAbout
Following his appearance in the sixth Chopin Competition in which he reached the final, Michel Block embarked on an international career, consolidated in 1962 with first prize in the then prestigious (now defunct) Leventritt Competition for pianists and violinists held in New York.
The Belgian virtuoso gained a lofty position thanks to his recitals in prestigious music centres and performances with famous philharmonic orchestras, including from Amsterdam, Berlin, Chicago and New York, during which Block worked with such conductors as Carl Maria Giulini, Bernard Haitink, Riccardo Muti and Georg Solti.
Michel Block, now numbered among the most outstanding pianists of the second half of the twentieth century, owed his reputation also to his numerous recordings for Deutsche Grammophon, EMI (and its ‘offshoot’ Pathé-Marconi), Pro Piano Records and Guild.
