ANTONY PEEBLES: Piano

In April 1971 Antony Peebles won the BBC Piano Competition, with an unanimous vote from the jury.  Vlado Perlemuter declared to the jury that he had never heard "Gaspard de la Nuit" played better.  Exactly 20 years later Mr. Peebles's interpretation of this work is set down here on Compact Disc.

Mr. Peebles also won the Debussy Competition in France, in 1972.  Since then he has had a busy career, with a particularly international flavour.  He has now performed in over 100 countries, the most recent of these being Algeria and Czechoslovakia.  Back in the UK he has played with most of the leading orchestras, and he appears regularly at the Barbican and the South Bank.  He has made numerous broadcasts on BBC Radio 3 and plays for many music clubs up and down the country.
