Description:

Walter Kleen was born in Austria in 1928. He studied piano with Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli and composition with Paul Hindemith. He won the first prize at the Busoni International Piano Competition and has performed internationally. He was highly acclaimed for his interpretations of the Viennese classics and Romanticism. In Japan, he is still revered as a Mozart player, especially through his performances with the NHK Symphony Orchestra and NHK Educational TV's "Mozart at the Piano" hobby encyclopedia.
