Arthur Moreira Lima

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arthur Moreira Lima (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) is a Brazilian pianist. Arthur began learning the piano at the age of six and when he was nine he was already playing a Mozart piano concerto in public.

He achieved international projection after taking second place in the 1965 Chopin Competition in Warsaw. Martha Argerich, the gold medalist, has already affirmed that his Chopin interpretation is more authentic.

Lima has in the last years travelled to Brazil from north to south in a truck playing in places where classical music is rarely heard.
