Niel Immelman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The pianist Niel Immelman studied with Cyril Smith, Ilona Kabos and Maria Curcio.

He was still a student at the RCM when Bernard Haitink invited him to play Rachmaninov's Paganini Rhapsody with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. This successful début was followed by further appearances with the London Philharmonic, the Royal Philharmonic and other major orchestras at the Royal Festival Hall, the Royal Albert Hall and the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and it marked the beginning of a concert career that has taken him to every continent.

His commercial recordings have received outstanding critical acclaim and have featured in Classic CD magazine's 'Pick of the Year'; his survey of the complete piano works of Suk on the Meridian label is a first in recorded history.

Niel Immelman has given masterclasses and he regularly serves on juries of international competitions.
